What Causes Weight Loss?

hi. im 189cm tall (about 6 2) and weigh 67kg (about 147lb). im just skinny! my problem is ive tried EVERYTHING to put on weight. exericise, eating right, getting plenty of rest, even having protein shakes with my meals. over the past week my wife has been CONSTANTLY cooking and feeding me.. she determined to put weight on me.. n guess what! i lost another kg! (2.2lb). NOTHING i do puts weight on. ive even been told by some fat people they have never seen someone eat as much as i do! im at a loss as to what to do! ive tried everything! i havnt changed weight since i was 15! im 30 now and enough is enough. im going to see my gp here where i live within the week but i want a few ideas of what the problem could be.. its getting ridiculous. i swear ive eaten more than i ever have this week.. and i lost a kg!

Dear sir,

You may have a body type called "endomorph". Such body types are genetically trained not to put on weight. such body types have more lean muscle mass which have the ability to burn more fat than other body types. This may be physiological reason for you being skinny.I also suggest you to see your doctor. He may ask you to have a full body work up.
