    The M3 and older M5's have allways been reliability champs. The v10, when it first came out , sullied that badge. That transmission problem was not good.

    I cannot name a current chevy I like. Especially trucks. My expedition has been nothing but problems. But I have seen the same in my friends Caddy. And his costs more to make it run. It wears faster too. He baby's it but it shows stress so much faster. Every winter it gets worse. Maybe Fords just do better in the cold. The only GM I really like in current vehicles are the Yukon Denali or Acadia Denali. The pic ups with the Denali package look like plastic shit though. I'm inside and out.

    I seriously laughed too hard at that. But the question remains 'Too soon?'. J If its too soon we could just use Thailand instead. Thats been a while.

    I know this wasn't directed at me but I'll add my 2 cents. I have experimented with intermittent fasting with good results. My goal, like many others my size, is to lose fat and be of what I would call healthy strength. The initial reasoning for fasting is that I assume I am getting all the extra benefits that Stefan has mentioned, but in a addition for me it make diet adherence easier. If I wake up in the morning and know I'm not going to eat I go on with my day. I drink plenty of water because it is the only thing I can have. When I get to lunch I'm know I'm ready to eat, but it is actually much easier for me to pass by all the fast food joints and hit up the super market to think of something fresh, delicious and with plenty of protein (if I haven't planned already). Because I didn't waste a single minute with breakfast in the morning or snacks I have more time I can devote to lunch. I get to eat to my hearts content on healthy food and feel great (Did I mention that sometimes I have a brunch at this time? BEST meal ever). Afterward I spend the rest of my day not really worrying and I "graze" on a few healthy snacks. At dinner I eat with my girlfriend and repeat the process. When I was attempting an all day eating schedule I felt more need to plan out all the meals. I also felt like all I would do is snack all the time and never feel full no matter how delicious and healthy the "meal" was. Also, when I'm used to eating every three hours I get ravenous hunger pains. On my fasting diet I feel content after my one big meal. I don't get that on an all day schedule. Also, I am not eating extreme amounts of calories. Eating only 8 hours a day makes it easier to stay under my calorie limit, especially if I focus on healthy foods. For me I focus less on the food with the intermittent approach. That alone helps me tremendously. You only describe convenience, not health benefits. I honestly wish I could take a page from Seans book. Though a great cook and well versed in many cultures of food, I had less time to develop my skills as an adult and basically started working 2 full time jobs or one that was 80 hours a week since I was a few weeks before 18. This lay off period has really allowed me to grow in a lot of ways, and one of them is being able to cook a variety of foods for a day. It will be tougher when I return to the work force.... Unless I can score something from home.....

Also, I am not eating extreme amounts of calories. Eating only 8 hours a day makes it easier to stay under my calorie limit, especially if I focus on healthy foods. For me I focus less on the food with the intermittent approach. That alone helps me tremendously. I will address this and maybe put my point to rest. I'm on my cell phone yelling at jiffy lube for having over torqued my oil pan nut. I almost stripped it. OK. Sorry. I'm waiting on a new router. I purchased a local D link awesome machine... it cant even handle my fucking wired network and wouldn't let me use a secure wireless with a password I wanted. It excluded characters.... WTF. Anyway. As I said. For short term periods, as in even up to a year or so dependent on your situation, these methods show amazingly quick results. HOWEVER 99% of the results are not from the adhering to the prescribed food, or the timing of the food. IT IS BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR YOU TO NOT MAKE POOR FOOD DECISIONS. That is in caps as it is the crux of my statement. Not because I intend to shout. When you give yourself a simple rule of I will only eat this or that, or I will only eat from x-y, you are condensing your concentration and thus making it a more focused attack on NOT EATING GARBAGE. Your statement itself describes the situation perfectly. Because you are focused on a small part of your day for food, you then find it easier to drive past fast food. Just like the paleo diets, it's all just focusing on something so you are not focusing on your next double whopper with extra spoiled mayo special sauce and a king sized vat of onion rings. I loved me a triple whopper with onion rings. I do. YUM YUM EAT EM UP! But the food is shit. I don't eat it often and as I age it makes a much bigger impact on how I feel. I don't even crave fast food anymore. None. However when I'm busy I eat it. And it's all because I didn't plan. When I was trying my best I would make my meals every morning. Boil 4-6 chicken breast (depending on if I was going to have fish that day too). Make 3 cups of barley. Prep 6 cups of spinach, or sometimes brocolli. It took me 20 min including cooking time for a WHOLE DAYS MEALS. Talk about easy. Some people out there may not like that kind of monotony, but it was simple for me, and if I wanted something else I would just substitute. But I had it all set up and fail safe. I didn't mind having the same meal every day and it let me figure out variables. I could add in a new supplement and very quickly asses if it helped in any way or not. Eating every 2.5-4.5 hours is optimal. It's in every cultures anecdotal but literal billion people case study. It's in almost every conventional nutritionists first order of attack for a person. Athlete or just regular person. If I hear someone trying to tell me that I should not eat from time x to time y, or that I should cut out an entire macro-nutrient, or that goji berries will save my life I instantly think it's a short term fix and they are selling something. That something is usually hope and distraction. That doesn't make it bad, it's just not something that is either optimal as they push it or it's a short term band-aid. You want to knock off some flab because you got a beach vacation comming up. Heck yes a short term keto diet will help. Eventually though the gains.... errr losses will catch up.

    My wife shocked me too. She said she would try Japanese food. We both love Asian food, bit she cannot handle a lot of the more blunt Chinese flavors and she definitely cannot handle the sodium. She even said she would try some new foods she never liked before. Tofu... probably only fried maybe.... and just maybe some seafood. On a related note I badly want pan fried sun fish. I saw it on a menu and it made my mouth water. My body who I was going to meet bailed and I finished the appetizer and knew I shouldn't stuff my face. It sucked. I almost binged just to have some of them tasty blue gill, sunny's, what ever you want to call them. Cracker crumb and a little butter. Keep your walleye. Pan fish FTMFW

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Went to united noodle. It took me forever to figure out that they separate by Korean, Japanese, and then Chinese/other. I spent a good 45 min wondering why I couldn't find mirin in the cooking wine section. Or kombu and bonito in the soup isle. Lol I got some mushroom soy. Excited to try. Also stocked up on noodles. Udon, soba, and stir fry. I picked up yellow and red miso. And 8 blocks of extra firm tofu. I am curious to see how my body reacts to it as a regular protein. I'm normally against soy as a major protein source but I have never had it from tofu regularly. Also picked up some dashi instant granules. I want to try the difference. I also got some shrimp chips. Because I LOVE shrimp chips. Also makes the wife leave me alone until I sterilize my mouth. I almost got the spicy garlic ones to try... but I'm not that cruel.
