The word "slender" has a positive connotation compared to "starved" (which has a negative connotation of extreme hunger) and is a more positive - sounding way to describe a body type compared to the neutral or less positive alternatives. "Petite" is also positive but "slender" better fits the context of explaining a body - type change from gym trips.
