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.
“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.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around 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.

"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.

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 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.

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:

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:
It's not just my metabolism. I have 3 other lifting buddies who I've taken info from and developed into my dieting that have the same results and some are near 40.
