I started a cutting cycle about 6 weeks ago..and though in the beginning I had planned to only cut for 7 weeks (so Im done before my birthday) I'm gonna continue it for another 2 weeks (though Ill eat something very delicious on my birthday and not care about calories on that one day ;-)), because I see how I'm improving and that keeps me going. However, I was wondering if yall guys knew the feeling of being kinda depressed after cutting for a while? I had never heard about that, but it seems logic to me. When I think about what I'm gonna do with my life (as in college) right now I'm thinking to myself: uh no this major sucks..that one sucks..that's not really great either..I dunno if I cant get myself to study enough for that..and so on..but I know this feeling...cause thats how Im usually feeling when Ive been doing a diet for quite some time ;-). Anyways, Im just bored right now needed to get that off my chest and was wondering whether u guys knew the feeling...
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
cutting - does anybody know this feeling?
- Thread starter madgame
- Start date
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Know the exact feeling bro.
In fact, I'm workin on a new diet I've dialed in for this cutting cycle, and it involves super low carbs, which leaves me feeling depleted, and sometimes slightly depressed.
I think today I'm gonna do a carb up because I've been feeling flat like that lately....

Yeah, I wouldnt call it fun. However, you should be having a "cheat day" once a week. Where you eat what you want. Also make sure you eat your fats at the right times to boost testosterone levels!
But generally, no, its not THAT hard!

"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.
Some ppl will disagree on this one, I know..however I think cheat days are great. Actually I never "planned" on doing it, but I just did it like every other week during cutitng..and well Ive thought of that idea, too and guess Ill soak it up, because it's really great when you know there's light at the end of the tunnel and it's just 6 days away..not 6 weeks or maybe months lol. Basically for me that cheat day has always been the day where I went out and partied..and drank alcohol (not overly much tho)...I think you should pay attention so you dont eat everything in reach on this certain day but rather eat normally as you'd do if u werent on a cutting diet..
...but i dont wanna do cheat days than the cutting pain will take longer.........I'm gonna give it another name then.... scratch out "cheat day" let's call it a "metabolic reset" or a "refeed day."
There's actually argument that if you don't go all out, but boost your calories to keep your body off guard, the fat los will stay ramped up and not decline.
haha, nice try semag=) but you have a valid point, then i will look up how to do real refeeds. i only know that you have to keep the fat VERY low.....but is this only for satured fats or for poly and monounsatured also? have you any information on refeeds? and thank you for your tips in my other thread.
"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.

Go check that out... even if you don't follow it, you can learn a bit about how to bounce around calories and keep your body off-balance.

"cheat days", trick your body into thinking you are taking in more carbs etc, and helps your body burn calories. "cheat days" are recommended by nearly all famous professionals who pull the best results. When I cut, I loose 1.5-2kgs a week. That is pretty damn fast, and my strenght actually slowly increases. (But then again, I dont cut to levels of 5% like competition bodybuilders, and I dont have to cut much fat, only several kilograms.
if you dont have to cut much fat than this is really fast! impressive that dont lose your strength but even gain some. then i'm pretty confident about a successful cut. i will do some refeed days if i feel too low on energy. thanks semag and clooney.
