"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'm beginning a cut pretty soon. Before anyone says anything, yes I know I have to be in a calorie deficit. What methods/tools do you guys use to reduce hunger and the temptation to cheat when you're in a calorie deficit? Please let me know, thanks.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

dieting/cutting brought me down from around 35% body fat to 25% body fat.

it did absolutely nothing after that, and i could not get rid of my gorilla torso until I introduced the walking machine on an incline

with the incline walking I eat what I want within reason, and still lose B/F every week

cook a bag of brocolli every other day to pick at

Along with your diet, OP, take a solid Magnesium Glycinate supplement.

It's the most bio-available oral form of magnesium out there. It helps with sugar cravings like you wouldn't believe.

Besides, an estimated 75% of Americans have a magnesium deficiency.

It's got 3,751 binding sites in the body. Very important.
Oral magnesium is not absorbed well. In fact of you take magnesium at a dose that would be effective orally all that will happen is you will sh!t it out since it stimulates bowel movements.

Magnesium is meant to be taken in transdermally through the skin. It's why bathing in ocean waters and the dead sea seem to help with chronic health conditions...it has very high levels of magnesium which are absorbed through the skin.

Magnesium oil, aka Magnesium Chloride is the most effective form of magnesium and by far the quickest way to get your levels up to normal.

95% of people are magnesium deficient and the majority of the people taking oral magnesium are still deficient.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Eat high satiety foods. Among the highest on the list are oatmeal and boiled potatoes. Also maintain a high protein intake. That helps quell hunger.

It’s easier to cycle carbs and do things like IMF than to worry about calorie deficit. During cuts I just cut carbs. Works every time.
Newer studies have actually shown you lose more weight on a high carb diet than on a low carb diet. It increases insulin sensitivity and various other metabolic functions that help with weight loss.

A lot of weight being lost on keto diets is glycogen and water.

Also drinking a lot of water and staying hydrated keeps you from overeating. A lot of times people think they are hungry when it's really their brain misinterpreting thirst for hunger.

No.

The formula is less calories in then burned. How a person gets there doesn’t really matter. The difference is that healthy protein and fat sources are usually greater in nutritional profile and considerably more satiating than carbohydrates are.

This study says otherwise. Also probably 70% of people are in a constant state of dehydration and oftentimes their body is giving them thirst signals they take as hunger signals. Drinking water is the best satiety method out there for multiple reasons.

 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

That is one poor study that is also misleading. No one would classify 140 g of carbohydrates as a “high carb” diet. We will add that to the pseudo science pile.

If you eat less than you burn, you lose weight. The goal is to maximize nutrition in those calories while staying satiated. For most people, low carb works well due to its simplicity.

You know what works much better than constantly restricting calories over a long period of time?

Fasting fully for 24-30 hours twice a week(or 60-65 hours once a week) and then eating normally(with one cheat day) the other days. Burn almost pure fat on those days instead of 50/50 muscle and fat at best, resets leptin levels and revs thyroid to burn fat more efficiently and you will get to where you want to go a lot quicker.

Ok? I said very clearly less calories in then burned = weight loss. Fasting uses that same formula.
