When you guys are working out, do you abstain from beer and alcohol? I don't drink a whole bunch, maybe a few if I go out to a club on the weekend, but I've never been the type that keeps a 6 pack in the fridge or drinks much at home.
"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.

Moderate drinking is ok, but I define moderate as maybe once a week, socially, not drinking to get wasted. I drink maybe once every week or two, and I rarely exceed 5 drinks or so. Drinking interferes with protein synthesis, as well as the REM stage of sleep which is essential for growth and recovery.
If you want the beach body then definitely don't drink beer.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Drink straight tequila only. That way you don't get fat. (not a joke)
I made a post about this earlier but couldn't find it.
If you absolutely have to drink beer make sure it is light beer. However, I make an exception to this, as I'm a huge beer connoisseur and so will have a single quality beer every once in a while regardless of how many calories it has.
Your best bet is to drink liquor and mix it with diet soda. Clear drinks have less calories than colored drinks, so for example instead of drinking spiced rum drink white rum. My staple is bacardi and diet coke.
Vodka is the liquor containing the least amount of calories, but I can't stand the stuff. If you like vodka then drink vodka.
Also, avoid eating after consuming alcohol at all costs. Your body will prioritize processing the alcohol over anything else you consume, so you will gain more body fat than if you ate the same food sober.

As Jlay mentioned above - if you really have to drink, drink light beer. Why? There are 13 times more calories in regular beer than in wine.

Trying to track calories while drinking beer.....waste of time. If your drinking beer to begin with you really don't care about how your body looks.
"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.

Alcohol is alcohol. 10 beers, 10 glasses of wine, and 10 shots will all get you drunk, but beer has the most calories and carbs, followed by wine, followed by booze. Personally I hate hard liquor, but to each his own.
I took off 30 lbs in the last few months while drinking 1-2 times a week. A little bit of cardio but not much and not often.
Just take a guess and moderate calories down that day to compensate for the drinks.
Having to nail your exact calories every day is hogwash.

Higher concentrations of alcohol will be more irritating to your gastric mucosa. If you have a propensity for getting GI bleeds, or are a regular user of NSAIDs, its best to avoid binge drinking w/ large amounts of hard liquor.green69 said:
Personally I hardly drink beer. I only typically drink when I'm performing/partying, and since beer and abs don't mix, I stick to my hard liquor... w/o any mix.
This isn't true at all. MGD64 only has 64 calories per beer, which is about the same as a rum and diet (Captain Morgan Spiced Rum has about 60 calories per serving, while Bacardi White Rum has about 50).blinkwatt101 said:

Calories don't mean anything when it comes to obtaining a nice physique. Learn to eat real and healthy food w/o additives and you can become a statue without ever learning what a calorie is.JLay87 said:
"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.

Actually, if you already eat to excess and switch it out with a healthier diet, you would lose some weight. I've done it before it and happens. Imagine eating the same amount of vegetables to equal the amount of calories as a large order of fries. Same as something baked versus fried. Most of those additives just turn into fat as a way to keep most of them from spreading to your body or make you bloat up from retaining water if it has a lot of salt.JLay87 said:

You can become a statue off eating unlimited amounts of real food,provided you know how to work out and perform the right amount of cardio. I've been eating this way the past 3 years and wouldn't change it for the world. I never ever count anything that I eat other then protein. I even eat a whole cantaloupe,2 bananas,4 lbs of strawberries a day almost everyday in the summer(that not even counting all the protein and other fruits and wheat I eat) and I never get fat from it. Only bloated which I can completely eliminate within 24 hours.JLay87 said:
