A member asked:

I press on and suck in my stomach a lot. like i mean every minute or whatever. it makes me feel thinner, as i struggle with body image even though im apparently underweight. i was just wondering if this is bad or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sucking in is not harmful but being underweight may be, depending on how underweight you are. Try to keep your BMI between 18.5 and 25. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!
