You can think whatever you like.

Just like I can think a person who considers another person who practices fasting is a "girl" must have some deep-seated insecurity about how others perceive them and is preemptively dishing out primary grade insults.

On a thread related constructive note, I found Intermittent fasting to be quite effective, however combined with clean eating I lost too much weight and now struggle to put it back on.

My mrs and I tried the 5-2 for about 6 months. We both dropped weight, maintained our diets when not fasting (we eat clean anyway) and maintained our gym cycles. The results were great. Good periodic weightloss as opposed to yo-yo dropping and putting it back on. We don't follow it so strictly anymore, however we lean out as much as we can around midweek. But its fundamentally the same concepts as usual weightloss techniques. Eat clean, exercise and keep calories out more than calories in.

My mrs gave it up because she fell pregnant. I still loosely follow it and think its ok.

I wouldn't rave about it as a "lifestyle choice" but the science is fairly convincing.

Think how many more Nismo parts you could buy if you ate (i.e. bought) 2/7ths less food a week!!!

He's been buying Nismo parts on the advice of a psychologist as part of his therapy. The psychologist speaks from experience.

I've just tracked down more Nismo parts. Just finding out if a mate can order them for me. :woot:

I see it as the "5-2" is an object as in the 5-2 diet, therefore Cowboy was just telling said object this it is the Ticket to Weight loss, he doesn't care about you nor is he trying to convince you to try this diet by implying is is "your" ticket to weight loss.

Also this for lulz:

HA! I was hoping you wouldn't pick up on that, "You're (the) ticket to weightloss" would also be acceptable..

Actually let's get real pedantic, weightloss isn't a real world it should be "weight loss" and the "To" shouldn't be capitalised.

Now I've forgotten what the OP was about...

I think the 5-2 would work, but it's willpower and adhering with the program that would make any program successful. I know several people at work that do a weekly fast, one day of the week where they limit their diet that day to mostly just water or juice. They are pretty healthy and active.

Speaking of adhering to diet, think about how the Eskimos eat nothing but blubber, meat, bone marrow, organs, and blood, and yet are healthier than most westerners. Their "program" is the only program in the cold, could it be genetics or is it entirely possible to live off of blubber and the goo inside?

Partly because most modern day westerners are too precious to eat anything but prime cut flesh, so they're not getting the nutrients that the organs, bone marrow and blood provide. Same as my cat, it needs a ratio of these things as a carnivore to be healthy. Not that humans are carnivore, but that's a whole other argument.

The second part is the percentage of processed crap vs actual raw foods, this is what i highlighted before, is a fasting diet with junk food won't be as good as a normal diet with clean food... fasting and clean food? Just need to think of a way to turn this into a fad and become rich selling common sense to morons.

I'd like to see evidence Eskimos are in fact healthier (how is that even measured; with longevity or with strength or physical fitness or susceptibility to diseases?) than westerners.

I'd then like to see this linked directly to their diet and not the thousands of other variables at hand (lack of pollution would be a massive one, considering difference in longevity between varying altitudes and isolation from industrial processes). There's a ton of variables at play here and I seriously doubt you'd be missing out on any nutrients by eating prime cuts of meat.

Me! Because if I don't get arthritic, blind or don't suffer a heart attack or stroke I can drive longer!

Long live 6-1.

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
