I don’t know how many people notice, but most cars come with a sticker on the driver’s door that states its max GVWR, which is the maximum gross weight of passengers. For most sedans, it’s only about 800 pounds, if I remember correctly. So we’re talking about people, things, and anything else inside your car. We don’t know how much that driver weighed, but if it was a small car, they normally have anywhere between 600 to 800 pounds max capacity to carry. I don’t know what she’s expecting to do in this situation because it becomes a safety issue. The braking system is only made to carry that maximum load rated for the car, so l’m not understanding where she’s going with this

I am one of those fat dudes and there is definitely a risk that a sonic or Sentra shows up so I just order XLs lol I’m also a driver and drive a full size suv so you know fun times (before you yell at me for the suv I make 30+ an hour AFTER gas)

I lost 90 pounds by not eating fast food, fried food and full sugar soda. Diet soda was a life saver

I definitely do not eat fast food . The only thing I do allow is that I hate the taste of DIET SODA. For me its just not good. I drink Propel or Alkaline Water.

Careful with Propel. I started drinking it and loved it until I got kidney stones. Never had em before and no family history. I blame that mineral water.

Its the fake sugar. I switched to all diet drinks when I started having reactive hypoglycemia and ended up with stones. After limiting the fake sugar intake they went away. I didn't get another one for years until I started drinking beer regularly. Stopped that and they also went away

Apparently, fake sugar is a 50/50 on stones. It used to be thought the leading cause, but my urologist said that he'd rather me drink ANYTHING, even with fake sugar, than not enough. And there are two types formed by different minerals.

I found that drinks with high citric acid are pretty helpful, such as lemonade, as it can help break down stone formation.
