The key to staying healthy on that diet is drinking lots of water, as far as I understand. The diet puts a lot of strain on your kidneys, sends the fat through them, right, and you need water to flush the fat out. Without that, you can get into kidney trouble. Exercise is important, too.

So, I was watching MTV Jams, you know how things go, when this video from this group Big Tymers comes on. It's great, just these two guys doing this funny little stationary groove while they rap about their cars. One guy wears some sort of funny Burberry tracksuit. Anyways, the song flows along, and one of them mumbles something about his G-Wagen, and then flashes to a picture of the inside of the wagen briefly. It looks like the guy had the interior of his G-Wagen, this $80k SUV, refinished in Ostrich skin. Now, Ostrich is extremely expensive, like $800/pair of shoes, and the G-Wagen is pretty big, so the cost of covering the seats in that must've just been insane. Isn't that great? (The whole song is about how they can't afford all the shit they're buying - "hood rich" (the name of the CD the song is on) is their term for it). The American Dream, my friends, the American Dream.
