It really varies depending on where you get it from.  I've had some that have been dripping in oil, and others have been pretty tame.  You'd have to do a little research.

Ok, I'm going to stray a little off topic here, but I'm sick of the huge lines in Timmies now.  Can't they have a separate line for people ordering sandwhiches, bagels, steak, etc... ???  Used to be in and out in that place.  They need an express line for people who just want coffee. 

Those parents should be shot.  No jail time, waste of money....  Just shot.

Good call.  Most of the cals come from the cream.

Yechhh... I can't even drink it with real sugar or honey in it.  I just take the pills.  Probably not as effective, but man I hate that taste.

All I could get off kfc.ca was the buffalo ranch dipping sauce tub.

Try a cup of green tea when you're feeling famished.  It tastes terrible( my opinion), but it actually has an appetite supressing effect. 

I'm hesitant to bring it up, but what's wrong with free health care?  They do it all over Europe and here in Canada....  Works pretty good.   Raise taxes, but do it in brackets...  The more money you make, the higher your tax percentage.

I notice as well that the main culprits on hyping up this war between the two are republican-leaning media giants.  The Dems haven't even chosen a leader yet and the republicans are already hitting them with a smear campaign. 

Nope, but it will dehydrate you a bit.  Try and have some extra water for each coffee you consume.

I'm pretty computer savvy, if you have any follow up questions, shoot.

Not too many 3rd party batteries for laptops.  The wonderful computer companies mostly make them unique to that specific model so I guess it's not economically sound for a 3rd party company to manufacture them.  It's a good laptop, good price.  Vista should run pretty good on it as long as you're not watching 3 movies at the same time.   I've read nothing but good reviews about it, and it's supposedly very sturdy as well, which is good for travelling.

As far as the graphics card, as long as you aren't into the brand new state of the art video games you'll be fine. 

Thanks for the support everyone.

brokenbones84 - I've been dieting since the end of January, sort of a late new year's resoloution.  I've heard though that you lose the first bit fast, which may explain why it was so quick.  I was at 255, now down to 215.

The average human being can go for 30-45 days without food.  This is a fact that has been recorded thousands of times.  That means 0 calories.  No restricted diet, just zero.  If your body was consuming muscle tissue during this period, you would die much, much, much quicker than this.  I'm not advocating starving yourself.  Just think, think about it for a second.  Can your body live off your muscle tissue for 5 days, 10 days, 20 days????  It can't without killing you.  So basically what I'm hearing is that your body will purposely put you in jeopardy while abundant fat stores are available.  If this was the case, we'd be as extinct as dinosaurs ladies and gentlemen....  I will reference ketosis again, although I doubt anyone will bother to do anything other than type "ketosis dying" into google.  However, for those of you who do want to give it a few minutes, you'll see how remarkably well the body adapts to a lack of food. 

 People, the only reason the body doesn't crap this extra out in the first place is to store fat for a rainy, starving day.  That's how the body is programmed.  The only validity I see to any of these points is there is a brief adjustment period before the body starts rapidly consuming the fat.  This period lasts about 12 hours and will knock an insignificant amount of muscle off your body.  It is this "starvation mode" that certain people have capitalized on and inflated it into some sort of panic for people.   

 How do you go 30-45 days off of your muscle tissue?  Does anyone have an answer for that without subtly changing the topic through picking apart some sentence structure mistake I made a few lines ago?  Again, don't starve yourself, I would never advocate that....  That's sick and wrong.  Love yourself and your body, but don't be afraid to question the occasional lie.  This is a lie that you and I have been fed, and I ate it up for 30 years. 

I'm done with this issue.  Anything posted in rebuttal to this, I will read fully and listen, but I'm not debating this anymore.  Feel free to tear this post apart now. 

That's awesome, good job.

Yeah, I hear that.  I've got a pretty big frame on me and I think my target weight of 178 is a little nuts.  It's just a guideline methinks.  I'm just aiming at the upper end of normal BMI and see what I look like at that stage.
