that is one warped view of the metabolism right there

Did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, too? -Dr. Nick from The Simpsons
So... four years ago?

I'm not much younger!

I know it's bad to drink it, but honestly there's nothing else that tastes good.

Water is blah, yet essential. It doesn't taste good with most foods.

I don't drink any alcohol.

Juice's for the most part are yuck, though the ones that are good tend to give me a headache after a while.


I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place really. Gatorade isn't a good supplement.

that makes sense. i donno, by then you could be at an age where factory feels pretty damn good, and stop modding too much anyway.

my Z just felt at home when i brought her home. that front swaybar was a great addition though. i definitely recommend doing that even if you keep the rest of the suspension stock like me.

That is my choice, too But my wife likes Pepsi, and I prefer Coke to Pepsi, and we both like root beer, so we always had all of those plus something ridiculous like Sunkist Orange or Welch's Grape lol

I get a sweet tooth around February through Easter I gorge on Cadbury Cream Eggs But yeah, generally speaking, I don't eat a lot of sweets. I never eat dessert out somewhere and rarely at home; the only thing we usually have in the house is Blue Bell Ice Cream because I will never give that up

Pretty much, yup

I know how old you are, it tells me under your avatar

I've actually recently started drinking some small protein shakes that actually taste decent (Special K brand). They're my breakfast, and occasionally and afternoon snack.

Since I stopped drinking sodas, water was always my go to drink, but yeah, not with food

That's not an option for me

Yeah, usually there's too much sugar or fake juice. I enjoy a small glass of 100% orange or grapefruit juice

Yeah, I like Gatorade, but only so much of it.

NEVER!

Yeah, that's actually one mod that will benefit even DD

hahaha.

yah, if you do get a swaybar, i definitely recommend getting the stillens and just use the front bar. that whiteline (although feels great) is a pita to setup at first.

I know. Just making sure you could read that.

Though, I'm going to have to remove that and test you in a months time...

I tried drinking those Ensure protein things, but yuck. I'd really like to try and drink more water though. I guess if I start running I will do that.

I want to try to incorporate some natural juices into my diet though. Like an apple juice or something like that.

OJ I can only have if I'm eating breakfast-breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast, etc.), or if I'm sick.

No, no, no... not nasty Ensure or Boost. Try one of the Special K brand ones at least - they have a variety of flavors, but I just like the Milk Chocolate.

so i got an email from nissan consumer affairs asking how the stupid canned message lady did on my recall reimbursement issue and how she 'resolved' my problem.

WTF. wat resolve?

i donno, but with our american diet, so we really need more protein? i think taking too much would cause more problems like kidney failure and other complications.

id' probably concentrate more on minerals, fiber, and other vitamins.
