I guess I'm being particularly argumentative tonight for some reason...go figure!
But in terms of asking a doctor...under 30, no previous problems...right off, we don't know the wife's age - the person that was the original subject of this post.
Beyond that...the doctor will PROBABLY tell the under 30 person to go for it - no problem. But every now and then...what is it? The silent Q-T syndrome? Previously undiagnosed mitral valve disease? Or maybe the person with the constant aching deep in the calf muscle...thinking they've pulled a muscle or something? Oops! DVT. Sorry...guess I should have told them to check with their doctor. CYA. You're absolutely right. CYA for me, but most importantly, CTA for them. - EBF
And actually...writing this...I just realized my reasons for my nasty mood as far as this is concerned. I'm going to leave the comments, but also offer up my apology for coming across in a rather antagonistic manner. However, I still believe, and always will, that body self-image is the most important thing in terms of weight control issues - among other things.
