Physique means diddly squat in regards to health imo!
Good point. Bob Harper is a good example of this.5 -

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 -

And now you see my problem,
But yea, it happens more than most people think...1 -
I'm a taco cat and if anyone says different they can bite me...
... which they may also wish to do if they don't disagree, because tacos.

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

No one invites abuse. Ever.

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
