Well, l must say at 39 years old, ur physique is pretty dang good. I cant argue with that. I will say that l know what works for me and that fasting doesnt. Im not knocking it, lve tried and it just doesnt cut it for me. Now l do have a few friends that are totally with u, and thats cool. I guess lm just trying to say we all gotta do the thing that works for us. Cheers and keep up the good work.
You're assuming that the avatar picture is actually the pp.....lots of people use fake pics here.
True, never thought of that
I've been on and off MFP for a few years now and there's been numerous times where people have been called out for using avatar pictures of models/google images and trying to pass them off as themselves. Not saying that's what the pp is doing, but anytime someone posts something along the lines of 'look at me, I'm so awesome/hot/muscly', I always take that poster/pics with a large dose of skepticism
Physique means diddly squat in regards to health imo!
Good point. Bob Harper is a good example of this.5 -

He is a Kidney Specialist from Toronto I think and has some terrific and very informative seminars about insulin resistance, diabetes and weight loss. I am very intrigued. Oh, and I discussed his ideas with my Dr. and he agrees with Dr. Fung too. Fancy that.
Mr Fung has been somewhat discredited for his ideas. People that love him say that he's ahead of his time. The problem is that maybe he's right, but he has no evidence, no proof of his claims. This is entirely why he's been on trial and discredited by the college he worked for.
Be careful with information. I think his ideas are neat. Someday, they might be right on. But, evidence and scientific method need to be applied before we all go changing our ideas about how the human body works.
This really gives him too much credit. His ideas are unsubstantiated. Period. That really is the end of the discussion. If he does the work to prove them out, then that can be discussed, but since he doesn't, I won't give him the credit you do.9 -
I lose weight by eating less and burning more energy than I take in for a day.4

And lots use their true pics. Why have we become so sceptical?
Personally, I just :huh: when i see profile pics with their heads chopped off, I straight away wonder what they're trying to hide and why. Yes, I'm skeptical and suspicious.
I'm not saying this is what you're doing. Your profile pic could be you, or it could be not you. It's easy to find a body shot on the internet and pass it off as your own. It's a lot harder when there's a face in the shot.4 -

There can be a lot of reasons to not show your face on an online forum.. such as it could lead you and your family to be threatened and/or stalked.6 -

I know the issue you're talking about @psuLemon and i don't blame mods for keeping their photos private.
But unless you're a total A-hole and torment people on here, then being threatened or stalked shouldn't be an issue.1 -

Being threatened and/or stalked is not always -- indeed, I would say is seldom if ever -- the fault of the victim.12 -

"One final benefit is that fasting and juice fasting can help detoxify and de-fat the liver, regenerating its power. By de-fatting the liver, two British Professors (Taylor and Lean) have shown you can clean up the pancreas too."
De-fat the liver? Regenerating its power? WTF?
Id bloody someone if they suggested a juice cleanse or a 5 day fast to assist in killing the tumor in her liver.
*kitten* like this makes me angry.
Actually 'defatting' the liver is a common procedure by another name—particularly for patients who are having gastric surgery who are put on a special diet 2 weeks prior to do just that. (Look up 'pre bariatric surgery diet'.)
Cool.
That would belong nicely on a site for gastric bypass information but not on a Cancer site as a holistic attempt to kill or prevent cancer.7 -

Not everyone who is threatened or stalked has done something to deserve it.3 -
And there are people with jobs that it's sensible to just not have their pictures floating around the internet. Or there are victims of domestic abuse/other abuse who have real fears of being found. There's a lot of reasons to not put your picture up.
I like to display my RBF because I genuinely didn't mean to look so snarky in that selfie. Just a happy and appropriate for MFP accident.
And I have never ever stopped to think about my insulin because it's not an issue for me. Lose weight just fine. Well, physically. My brain isn't always 100% on board.5
