Plaque is the stuff of coronary heart disease. It is CONTROLLABLE, it is STOPPABLE, it is REVERSIBLE.
But you must be equipped with the right information on diet, nutritional supplements, and hopefully the avoidance of medication.
This is the blog that accompanies the 
“This diet works great,” Don declared. “But I think I’ve lost too much weight.”
At 67 years old and 5 ft. 11 inches, Don began the program weighing 228 lbs (BMI 31.9). Because of high triglycerides, high blood sugar, high c-reactive protein, and excessive small LDL, I instructed Don to eliminate all wheat products from his diet, along with cornstarch and sweets. His intake of lean meats, eggs, vegetables, oils, raw nuts, etc. was unlimited.
Don now weighed 194 lbs, down 34 lbs over 6 months (BMI 27.1). Triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure, and well-being had improved dramatically; small LDL, however, had dropped only 30%–still room for improvement.
“My friends say I’m too skinny. They ask if I have cancer!”
I’ve heard this many times: Someone loses weight in a relatively short period of time and friends and family tell you you’re too skinny. “It must be cancer. Nobody loses weight like that.”
Unfortunately, many Americans have forgotten what normal looks like. Normal is certainly not a 190-lb, 5 ft 4 in woman, nor is it a 228 lb, 5 ft 11 inch man. But Americans have put on so much weight that the prevailing view of what constitutes “normal” weight has been revised upward. Normal is closer to what we see in old movies from the 1940s and ’50s with people like Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. That’s what we are supposed to look like.
So Don actually remains mildly overweight but is judged as “too skinny,” or even cancer-ridden, by friends and family.
Ignore such comments. As you lose pounds and approach a truly desirable weight, realize that you are returning to the normal state, not the vision of “normal” now held by most Americans.

I'm a caucasian male, 6'2" and I've been healthily below 160. I have a thin body. I don't know if it's because my bones are smaller, or what, but this is normal for me.
And, I feel for the thin folks in the south. When we lived in TN for a few years, I had a heck of a time finding 32" waist pants. Now that I'm back in CA, it's much easier.
Jimmy Stewart was thought too skinny by Hollywood and the Army at the time. When he was first signed to MGM they recognized that Stewart had an uncanny screen charisma and great star potential, but they considered him just so goofy looking that they didn't buy him having any male star sex appeal. MGM wanted someone to compete with Tyrone Power, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and up and comers like Cary Grant (Grant would be a better example for you than Stewart). Before MGM ever put Stewart in a movie they put him with one of the studio weight trainers, hoping to add some muscle to his physique. The trainer had Stewart lifting weights and drinking a gallon of milk everyday. After a month of this regimen Stewart had gained about three pounds, mostly of bloat. MGM put him in a variety of bit parts but they figured he was basically useless to them so they loaned him out to Columbia for a pair of pictures, You Can't Take it with You and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Stewart's star was made and he returned to MGM to make a slew of great films, Destry rides again, Philadelphia Story, & The shop Around the corner. Stewart came from a very patriotic, midwestern family. in 1940 Stewart basically quit his studio contract (after filming A Mortal Storm) and recognizing the world situation, he went to enlist in the Army with the idea of entering the Air Corps to train as a pilot. He was rejected flat out because he did not weigh enough for the minimum standard to enlist. And Stewart was 6' 3&3/4" he weighed next to nothing! Since he was only a few lbs under, Stewart went back the next week, this time after waterloading himself. he barely made it through the physical before bursting, but he was able to eek over that minimum weight standard by a single pound. By the time Pearl Harbor hit, Stewart was a certified pilot and he spent most of the war continually flying bombing missions over Europe.
Cary Grant on the other hand, would be a superb example. Grant began life as a circus tumbler, and he maintained his athleticism throughout his life. His remarkable lack of aging until his final decade was due to his eschewing alcohol and smoking in his private life, which was both very rare at the time and ironic considering the suave characters he played always drank and smoked. He may also have been one of the oddball anti-sugar hollywood types (Gloria Swanson was one) that refused to eat anything with sugar in it. But I'm not certain on that.
