14-02-07 Topic Three: No Such thing as Natural Size 0 part2

As the debate on superskinny models rages on, your thoughts please on whether it's really possible to have a 22-inch waist - naturally. Are female stick insects all hiding a secret life of anorexia, laxatives and lettuce leaves? Or is that assumption demonising all those who are genuinely superslim by nature?

Do they live in a freaking bubble? I know PLENTY of people who are naturally thin like that! I know plenty of people who eat a lot and don't go 'throw it up' afterward like they claim they must. They're making a lot of assumptions.

I'm 14, 5'7 and 90 pounds. My waist is 22-inches, and I just have a fast metabolism. I eat shit, nothing healthy really, but maybe it's because I eat around 6 times a day. I usually over-eat though. Anyway, I wear a size 00. It runs in the family, my mom was 89 pounds when she was 18. Things happens, it's not a miracle. Also, not everyone that's very skinny looks gaunt.

i know boys and girls that eat LOADS but they dont put on weight. it's not exactly a positive thing. i've sometimes been in tears because i've thought im too skinny but im gonna eat a load of crap to solve it.

how stupid are they dismissing all women that call to say they are a size zero. Blablabla it must be the pill. Although I'm now a size dutch 38 (usa 4) and 26 years old. Untill I hit like 24 I've always been a size 0-2 (32-34) my whole life. When I was 16 I couldnt even find jeans that fit me. Although I must say I much smaller than a model 165 cm and not at all curvy

Thin people on average consume about 1,600 to 2,000 calories per day as opposed to a larger person who consumes much more. It is not that the thin person purposely consumes less calories, it is usually that they tend to fill up faster than the larger person.

There is a big difference between a 5'2" size zero vs. a 5"7"+ size zero. A woman can be short and be a size 0 and have a healthy BMI, as opposed to a very tall woman who is also a size 0. Most naturally thin tall women are generally a size 6-10. One thing though to keep in mind, a UK size zero is smaller than a US size zero.
