This is serious: You are very young and your weight loss may indicate real trouble. You should visit your doc to be safe.

Low BMI: Your BMI is too low and indicative of inadequate nutrition. Increase the amount of lipids (fats) in your diet. If you can tolerate dairy products, drink dark chocolate milkshakes every day.Take a good supplemental complete vitamin complex. Eight glasses of PURE water every day.
