"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I heard that its not the best thing to consume fats and carbs togheter, when eating protein is best to add either the first or the second since carbs spike insuling and make fat to be stored easily.

At first I tought that fats werent taken the way they are and instead get transformed in energy from the body but while listening to a nutritionist on tv, it seems its not exactly like that or I got something wrong.

So the question is, does adding fats to a carb/protein meal slows down my fat burning process?
 

"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.

One tbsp = 190 calories, more than a regular 12 oz. Coke that is about 140 or so. Olive is pure fat, quite possibly healthier than other oils on the market today because it's all natural (virgin), but fat none the less. I only use it as a cooking lubricant for stove top.

Don't wanna hijack here, and noob question, but what about butter?
 

"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.

Let's just say it would be beneficial for you to eat your sandwiches without Olive Oil, from now on.

Consider ground flax seeds (self ground is better, preground is ok if refrigerated) or sunflower seeds for that "fatty-oily" sensation and more mustard for "juiciness." This gets you the benefits of the high fiber and omega threes in flax or other vitamins in other nuts. Don't buy preprocessed where possible and grind your own. I have a long way to go to my fitness goals, but have noticed a big difference in cravings after working lots of beans, green tea and ground flax seed into the diet. Eating processed oils of any type just doesn't give the sated feeling gotten with fiber IME, so I cut it out other than cooking stir fry, and that's a couple of tablespoons for about 4 meals worth of stirfry, most of the oil gets dumped after cooking and not eaten anyway.
