PS if your HR monitor is reading 230, its a 99.9999% chance of interference as HR software is coded up to 230bpm.

PPS linear algebra/calc3/differential equations/etc isn't that incomprehensible.
HR monitor? I was just timing it with my fingers and a stopwatch.

Also, I'm not referring to calculus 3. I'm referring to what mathematics grad students do - for example, the topology of objects that can't actually exist.

Bought a "thermal metabolizer" from the "health food" store, called Therma Lean, active ingredient is MaHuang.

At the time i was 260lbs, just starting a weigh loss diet and exercise program, thinking the Therma Lean would "help". Took 2 in the morning with breaky, then by 10am, by heart was pounding out of my chest, my hands were shaking, i felt like someone had "plugged me in" to the 220v dryer plug!

Lasted about 1/2 hour.
This is why I posted this thread!

I always thought that Ma Huang was one of those "fluff" ingredients that doesn't do anything. I'll make sure to avoid it in the future.

So what would you suppose a juvenile diabetic do then, huh? Just put sugar in their coffee?

Sure they can put sugar in their coffee, they just need to adjust their insulin dose to allow for it.

This thinking that diabetics must avoid sugar at all costs is quite outdated.

To the OP, sorry, but your diet and lifestyle sound quite unhealthy. Top marks for taking up exercise and trying to get fit/lose weight but you really need to cut down severely on your caffeine intake and stop eating fast foods. The best things you can do for your body is switch to drinking plain water during the day (your kidneys will love you for it) and give up convenience/fast foods and start preparing things from fresh - it is the only way to have control over what goes into your body.

No not at all costs, but having to inject after every coffee would certainly be a pain in the arse.

If you've read what I've posted, I only have fast food once every two weeks. My friend was offering it, and I could'nt exactly turn it down - that would be rude.

As of late, I just hit the salad bar at the grocery next to the gaming store. You can't get much better than that.

Also, I don't drink caffiene that often - the "liter of mountian dew" thing is only if and when I'm in a pinch. Sometimes, a server needs updating no matter what time in the early morning it is.
