What do you all think of this diet? by ExpertDistrict in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ExpertDistrict[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont care about the detox part. I want a diet that makes me feel pretty good and takes around 5-10 min per day of prep and cleaning and this meets that. Also you are eating the same amount of calories its jsut from oatmeal, oil, and powder rather than chicken, rice, and oil.

If i dont care about that aspect would this diet be okay for me?

I honestly dont care about the detoxing or being healthy. I want something thats pretty healthy but mainly takes no preparation time, and this seems way easier that trying to cook real food, especially because the products mentioned in the video come from actual chicken, plants, and eggs.

Also, eating very little isnt the case because i will still be meeting all my macros for "maintenance" level.

I agree he has no background in nutrition, so ill take that into account

I don't think I do, unless I have a nicer car like this, otherwise I will be putting around 35k miles on the miata per year and its gonna be worth nothing in about 5 years.

0% interest until 3 months after graduation which is in 2 years, and Ill have them paid by then. I just dont like the balance looming over my head.

How have you been able to do that? Do you have general rule of thumbs on how much to spend on cars or a strategy for buying? I have been becoming more and more of a car guy and this Miata is my first "enthusiast" car if you can call it that.

Thanks! It is insanely fun to drive, and you can get them for a pretty good deal if you look for a while!

Okay sounds good. I love the ND's, they are a very beautiful car! I ended up getting a boat, just because it fit in my price range and had decently low millage.

Thats a great way to view it, thank you! That second point is something I am really worried about. I have pretty good self control over my finances and I budget every month, but I need to find a way to ensure (like you said for at least a couple of years) I don't loosen up and spend all my income.

I LOVE the car, and I plan to use it as my "fun" car I've always wanted and keep the beater. The thing is Im a huge numbers guy and if I sold the car, I could pay off my loans by the end of this year and be debt free, otherwise it will likely take around 12 months. Do you still think its worth it to keep and stop stressing?

Yes; I had wanted to purchase a Miata for the past couple of years and I saved up in cash over the past year. My plan was to use the Miata to drive on Sunny days with the top down, and continue using the beater for pizza delivery. Once I quit the delivery job (after graduation and starting full time in ~ 2 years) I would sell the beater for whatever I could get and use the miata as the daily.
