Yes it will. I suggest you get medical help with gaining and ask to see a nutritionist to help you;

You kind of have the opposite problem to most people here who have recently been posting about how to lose double chins etc etc.

From there, increase your daily caloric intake by about 300-500 calories until you start putting on the pounds. Keep in mind though, while your caloric intake will directly influence your bodyweight, it will be other factors like the types of food you eat and your weight training regimen that decide the type of weight you are putting on. So if you are after an aesthetically pleasing weight gain, that of lean muscle weight as opposed to just some extra body fat to lug around, it will be important to pay attention to these factors.

To get the most muscle out of your weight gain, avoid the junk food and focus on eating whole foods. A good weight gain diet should be composed of 30-50% protein, 20-50% carbohydrates and 20-40% fat (the majority of which should be essential fatty acids). Different ratios within these ranges will work differently for different people. Keep up your food journal and experiment to find the ratios that work best for you.

Providing your body with the materials it needs to build muscle is only one piece of the puzzle. A weight training program designed to give the body a reason to add some muscle will be very important to achieving your goals. Your workout routines should concentrate on compound weight lifting exercises (those that involve multiple muscle groups like the squat or bench press) with weights that allow you to do 6 to 12 reps per set. Higher rep ranges will tone your muscles but may not sufficiently signal the body into muscle growth. Try to either increase the amount of weight lifted or the reps completed with each workout.

You mayalso want to supplement with some Whey Protein and Creatine.

Also bear in mind that you're only 15 and you will to some extend 'fill out' naturally as you get older.

You can't change your face shape. You can get rid of fat from your cheeks to make it appear more heart shaped. You just have to lose a lot of weight! Oval is the best shape anyway! Did you know..it suits all hairstyles.

Probably but what height are you? If you are a normal weight for your height you shouldn't be concerned about increasing your weight. Also look at your parents face shapes. If they have thin faces then it is likely that it won't make any difference what you eat.

If you do decide to gain weight you should do it in a healthy way. Don't just gain weight for the sake of gaining weight. For example if you gain weight by eating lots of crisps and chocolate, it may be effective however you could be storing up problems for yourself later in life as that would be a diet very high in saturated fat. This could pre-dispose you to coronary heart disease and possibly heart attacks. You may be young but the problems start now and build up over years.

Also if you want to gain weight you may consider using weights and exercise, so weight is gained as muscle instead of fat.

If you would like more information regarding your diet please email me.

Face shape cannot be changed by diet or medicines.You have to do plastic surgery or approach fasion people so that hair style,eyelashes,beard etc can be adjusted to give a better look.

It will definitely change. You can get started and put some weight on, because you are indeed underweight. Your face shape WILL change, it will get some forms on :)

Yes I think it will, your face should "fill out" thus changing it's shape.
