What Causes Severe Thinness?
I am 32 years old 5' 10" and only weigh 120lbs. My face looks like a skeleton (sunken cheeks and eyes). I usually eat 1 meal a day in the evening and snack in the afternoon. I have plenty of energy and am usually never humgry. Do you think I might have a hidden problem?
