"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.

3 day tuna diet

"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.

The best way to shed and shred is cardio, as others have stated, along with a lower-carb (never no-carb) diet. Plus, cardio floods your system with endorphins and makes you feel positive and cheery.

Swimming is excellent for weight loss, especially in a natural water body. I used to swim a lot in a pool, until I read how chlorine wreaks havoc on your skin, hair, lungs, and testicles.

I do jump rope (20 minutes with a HIIT element) and the elliptical. Both are excellent, low-impact cardio exercises. I haven't been jogging in years. I save my knees and ankles for hiking.

The myth is that you need to do an hour of cardio per session. You don't, and it actually hits your testosterone levels if you are too deep into a caloric deficit. If you keep the intensity high or HIIT, you only need 10-20 minutes to burn fat and chisel up.

I think canned tuna is pretty bleh. I eat tuna sandwiches on Friday sometimes (it's a Catholic thing) but I don't choose it over other deli options if I can help it. Plus, as you mentioned, you are flirting with high mercury if you eat it more than 2-3 times per week.

Tuna isnt the healthiest stuff. You arent supposed to eat more then a can over a few weeks.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The whole downside of the diet is that you will lose water and muscle, not fat. And afterward, you will gain weight because it is stressful for the body. You need discipline, a calorie deficit, and exercise. Then the results will be long-lasting.
