"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
LOSING Muscle on a diet? Oh NOes??? But..

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It applies to anyone. There is no way to avoid losing muscle while cutting calories, unless you are taking steroids, but you can minimize it.
-1g protein per pound of bodyweight daily
-lift relatively heavy in terms of weight. Lower reps, more weight
-walking ONLY for cardio activities
-prioritize 8 hours of sleep per night
-fasting for 24 hours 1-2x per week is muscle sparing due to influx of GH released(up to 700% normal) and will burn almost pure fat.

Needed to shed some belly fat and have lost quite abit of excess weight around the belly.
In regards to muscle loss, I don't seem to has lost much. Have been eating one high protein meal a day, and maybe one little snack.
Been lifting consistently throughout, heavier weights.
Also cardio wise, no intense running, just walk in the treadmill.
I may need to slightly increase my calories now, as I want to gain some more muscle mass considering I have lost the belly.
However my concern is, the belly will come back soon as I up the calories.
I don't think I can sustain one meal a day long term, the heavier I lift, the more my body is starving for calories.
I think I need to be realistic, at age 47 it's highly unlikely I can sustain a flat stomach at all times lol
