Food - What Is Good, What Is Ok, And What Is Really Bad For Us


Recommended Posts

I'm getting a DEXA scan next Tuesday, should be tops. Did you get one done Birds?

Not yet, but I'm keen to. Might book in this week. It'll be purely for interest's sake; I can't see my BF changing much anytime soon to make follow up scans worthwhile. Be good to take a pic and say this is me a x%.

Edit: have increased food intake and lifts recently, so might be worth it afterall.

Car runs great, I'm just over it. It's pushing me dangerously close to depression lol

Get a motorbike - depression alleviated.

Not yet, but I'm keen to. Might book in this week. It'll be purely for interest's sake; I can't see my BF changing much anytime soon to make follow up scans worthwhile. Be good to take a pic at 37 degrees angle from the passenger side window of an R33 gtst with 10% window tint at exactly 4:37pm on a day which is 29 degrees with 59% humidity and say this is me a x%.

Fixed?

Get a motorbike - depression alleviated.

That's the plan (though a dirt bike, at least while I'm restricted on my Ls) however I can do that until I f**k this car off. I'm either going to strip it for parts and get roughly $11k give or take for everything, or sell the shell as it is now for $10k neg, registered, and legally engineered.

Eat a jar of Natural Peanut butter and do squats.

Depression and car care factor cured!

I essentially am blaming part of my bad mood and HORRIFIC FEELING in my gut on organic peanut butter lol...ate like 6 rye biscuits with peanut butter last night. The last time I did that I also felt this way (last Friday). Correlation may not equal cause, but f**k it that'll do for now.

What's the difference between natural and organic?! o.O The stuff I get is the Woolworths Macro wholefoods shit, since that's the only peanut butter I've found that lists "100% peanuts" in the ingredients.

...>.> I just posted that URL... And was asking time not website. No matter! Compare notes next week!

You totally posted dexascan.com.au instead of bodyscan.com.au

Unforgivable

Natural peanut butter is in the "health food" section of woolies - where the protein bars and powders are.

the stuff you have is from the same section where the regular peanut butter is but in it's own "MACRO" branded section.

Try the Natural one.

Please explain your reasoning, other than cost. The sanitarium shit still has added salt and/or sugar. The macro stuff does not, and is only peanuts.

I cannot fathom why you suggest something with additives over something without.

Look at the label and see which one has less carbs and salt?

Still shouldn't be applicable, even if the macro one has more calories/carbs/whatever....it can't have more salt considering it has NONE added.

The only way the macro one could have more calories/carbs/whatever is if the Sanitarium one is being watered down....so my question remains, why the hell is it better than something that's purer?

TOLGA YOU BEST BE TROLLING ME BRO

I think TTT statement covers a wider area.

Organic foods aren't always natural.

orangic is just the way it's grown, sugars etc. can be added and it still be an organic product.

The natural ones have no additives

and doesn't organic shit cost way more?

OK now that I go to Sanitarium's website and look at their "natural" peanut butter, I see that it's also 100% peanuts with no added salt or sugar....I was confused given that they have a different product that is CLEARLY LABELLED "No added sugar or salt", leading me to believe that since what he linked wasn't clearly labelled as such also, it must have them added.

Now the only argument would be price, which I dare say Sanitarium is probably cheaper.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
