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.

    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu? 
    • Yeah thats the plan now. 🤞
