i lost about 60 lbs on an anti-fungal med that i really needed; it alarmed my doc, even tho i was still more than 50 lbs overweight. i wish he'd let me lose those other 50 lbs... there was nothing apparently wrong with me, i just lost my appetite.... oh where, oh where, can i find that again ?
i have seen people who were truely 'gaunt', and people who were merely 'thin', and i think 'thin' is OK,, it's much less stressful on the organs than 'fat'.
