"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.
does taking multivitamin give you more energy?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Without them they wont work with the body, and then no you wont have any.
May not be the best analogy, but think about a car. Gas gives the car fuel right? But if you put the gas (fuel) in the tank and just sit there, does the car move? Does it move if you dont turn it on?
You have to crank the ignition, the spark plugs fire, the pistons move, you shift into gear, you hit the pedal, the gas gets sucked in the lines........
Gas is only part of what makes that car go.
Its kind of like the vitamin. You pop the vitamin, and you just dont go, and say... Dang, look at all that energy. The vitamins have to work in the body, and WITH the body to do their job. All these processes like the car is what makes it happen. Not the vitamin or gas in itself.
Now if you say does caffeine give you energy yes, but that is different than a vitamin/mineral.
Hopefully that helps some, and if anyone has a better analogy, please add.
You are partially correct. WE people are prob not nutrient deficient. Again yes, there is still no solid verdict. Though there was, now they are changing it and still debating it. Even JAMA.Espi said:
They do have access, BUT, the majority of Americans dont eat like us. I took a class on cancer once, and the professor asked how many students ate X amount of fruits, and vegetables and grains and all that in a day. You'd be surprised at how many people dont eat crap. Well... they do eat CRAP, but I mean crap food.
This is how most Americans are. THEY EAT JUNK. We dont eat as much, and in fact I dont eat even close. BUT they do. They have access like we do, but they chose not to eat the way we do.
If anything, THOSE people need them badly. I see what people eat at work, and the trash is LOADED with fast food bags, and it is amazing at how much junk people eat in a days time. Just baffles me. 20 and 30 bags of Wendy's and McDonalds and Sonic, and you name it. DISGUSTS me, but they do it.
I'm just glad i'm not them.
Last weekend I woke up late and was starving, my friends called me to go to the beach. I didn't have time to make breakfast or go to a nice restuarant, but needed some energy, so I went to mcdonalds and got a crispy chicken wrap and some fries. I needed some quick food because I was starving and in a hurry. Otherwise, I rarely even go to Micky Ds. Using fast food sparingly isn't a problem, it's when it's the mainstay every day.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Deficient? Maybe not.
Running at optimum? Probably not.
Better too many vitamins/minerals than not enough. To an extent of course... and it makes me cry that i have to put that caveat since it should be an obvious given.
I'd say the amount of cancer and heart disease and all that mess these days in people with poor diets is more than enough evidence that people are deficient. They can't defend against their own freakin cells going nuts.

As Espi states, the verdict is still out, and it is. Experts go back and forth on this every month, and there is something new out all the time.Michaelangelo said:
IMO I think we need MORE than what we get perhaps, but to what extent? Do we really need 8333% of a B-Vit?
I think we prob get more than we need out of our multi because its really going to be high compared to your Centrum. And this is where more research has to be done. If we eat the way WE DO. Healthy and get good food in, is a 1 a day with 100% on top of what we get sufficient? No one knows this yet.
I do think however, some people OVER do it. People take their multi then they take an extra E pill or B-Complex 100 or 2g of Vit C. I take a multi that says to take 2 per day but I only take 1.
