Does the appetite enhancement of marijuana incur more calories than the amount of alcohol it takes to get equally inebriated?

I can't do a hippie diet because everything I wouldn't be allowed to eat tastes fucking delicious.

I know what you mean DSD. Nothing worse than having problems and not being able to explain to yourself or others that there really is something wrong, and what that wrong thing is. Hopefully you'll find some reputable literature on hypothyroidism, and the sorts of little lifestyle changes that will help with improving your condition. In my experience the right pharmaceutical for you can be a life altering thing for the better. But at the same time, modern pharmaceuticals haven't covered everything for me, and nutrient changes have filled in some of the gaps in a major way.

An atomic scale?

Ok, I don't know what it is about coconut water and hydration, but it just works for me. If I have a dry mouth, 6 glasses of water won't fix it for me. Sports drinks don't work. Coconut water works. I'm supposed to have extra potassium, because my cell walls are leaky and don't keep my potassium and sodium electrolytes separate, like they're supposed to be, so electrical messages between cells don't work too well in my body. Doctors tell me to cut the sodium and have oodles of potassium. I've taken large doses of potassium in tablets. I've eaten masses of bananas. NOTHING works for me like a big can of coconut water a day to keep my mouth wet, give me more energy, and take down my pain. I don't know if the potassium in coconut water is more "bioavailable" to the body, or if it's got anything else in its mix that makes my body happy. It just works. One 500ml can of coconut water, then ordinary water and drinks for the rest of the day.

Maybe it's extra muscle on you, not a return of fat? Really!

My whole week's schedule has been screwed up because my cousin diedSpoilerPlease don't feel the need to offer condolences. I hadn't seen her in 15 years and we've never been close. The reason it's relevant is because arranging for my parents to go to the funeral has kinda killed my schedule.. We've done little cooking and my sleep schedule has been shot(which has meant I've been drinking a bit more soda than normal for the caffeine).

Problem with that is I can't stand coffee. Tea's a potential solution, but I like it sweet enough that it's not gonna help much. I'll be good once I've caught back up on sleep. Schedule changes are quite rare for me, so shouldn't be too bad as long as my other cousins learn that seat belts really are a good idea.

Oh. Bother. Well, there's a scientific paper that says an apple wakes you up more thoroughly and makes you more alert than a coffee does. Also, do a sum working out how much you pay per day, per week, per month and per year on soda. The amount of money that you could spend on something big that you'd love to have for yourself, if you just switched to drinking water throughout the day, was a huge motivator for me to switch to being a water drinker.

I think I drank my whole week's allowance of beer last night.

In the last couple years, I've cut back from 1200+ calories per day(1500-1800 on weekends) of soda to ~300 a day(maybe 450 on weekends if we go out). Eventually, I'll cut it down further. But for right now, I'm okay with where I'm at, except for on the occasional slip up like this week.

Honestly, I think the pizza(and burgers, and chili dogs) that my diet consisted of did more harm than the extra soda or two a day over the last few days.

Aww, no super fancy beers?

And $8.50 for a sixpack of tall boys still isn't a bad price. Not great but not bad either.
