"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.

I am always craving carbs expecialy after a hard workout. I eat alot of rice, bread and cereal.

Whats the best way to control the craving? I don't want for most of the carbs I eat to turn into fat.
 

"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.

Easiest way? Dont eat them.

Welcome to bodybuilding. It's tough. You've either got the attributes and balls to do it right, or you've not. It's something you learn to control.

Yep, cut them out completely for a couple of weeks and the cravings will subside. You can eat them again, but in moderation. I was surprised that I can now go to the store, stop at the tortilla chip section, pause a second and just walk away feeling good about myself. Even a small bag of chips from the vending machine at work can last me the better part of the day. That's a big weight off of my shoulders.

Just think of how much you'd be saving in terms of fat/cals/carbs if you didn't even have that one bag, though. Save it for your cheat day, if you have one... For example, a 5.5oz bag of cheetos - 960 cals, 60g fat, 90g carb, only 6g protein! Yuck! (I do love cheetos though... mmmm..)
 

"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.

Eat peaches and other fruity things. (water can help too)
Bananas are an exception though.

I dunno... A banana with breakfast or pre/post work out can be awesome when you need a rapid energy release.

Complex carbs over Simple carbs. Everything in moderation. Dont cut them out completely, just make sure that all the carbs you eat are complex carbs and that you're not eating too many at once.
