I'm wondering if we might institute a warning label at the beginning of a post if the poster intends to use gruesome imagery. I've lived with diabetes since I was a child- what keeps me going is fitness, positivity and a low carb diet. In fact, I think diabetes has made me *more* fit that I would be if I were nondiabetic.
Perhaps gruesome imagery motivates you, but I'd prefer not to encounter it when I am reading a forum for advice about health.
My proposal: if your post contains gruesome imagery, put a warning at the beginning.

As for what Dr. B recommends: yes, that is a *recommendation* but it hardly applies to all situations. For example, if I know I'm going to be training to run a long distance, I *need* to start at 180,or I'll plummet. It has always interested me that Dr. B does not do cardio- perhaps his recommendations make it difficult.
