"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I havent eaten carbs since 7pm. I just did 40 mins of cardio and now am planning on eating and going to bed within an hour.

Do I eat protein + fat as a pre bed meal and call it a day or do I eat carbs as well to make up for depletion?
 

"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.

Might of come in here to late but for future reference stick to a protein/fat meal before bed. Carbs before bed aren't good unless your do a lifting workout before bed then you'll have to have carbs.

Dude I've been on Alex's slow cutting program...and I think I am overeating or something... my arms look like they are losing fat but the stomach keeps growing (the fat on the stomach).. my carbs are apples, oranges, may be a little bread and (juice post workout) so Im wondering if 1.5g/1lb protein is too much or something... may be I am not pushing myself hard enough at the gym.. what gives?
