Maybe the cause of you feeling week unconcetrated may have something to do with doing cardio fourteen times per week. I never eat fruit or vegetables because they have very few calories in them... but I feel fine, alert and ready for action.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Don't forget your veggies and fruits!

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

To be fair mate, you do have the most... unconventional... eating habbits I've seen, going against what a lot of us say.
So how it runs =]

which leaves 1500 for your body to grow, either your extremly light, or your an alien.
Btw losing alot of bodyfat gaining alot of muscle at the same time can't be done unless;
A: your a beginner
B: your juicing
C: again, ALIEN!
D: genetics ( but still hard to do with only 1500 calories )

I'm assuming everyone here knows that you burn calories by just LIVING.
If you're doing all that, you should be losing about 2600 calories. Atleast. I'm no expert, I dont know how active you are, but I cant see the gains being possible.

"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.
"living" Doesnt consume that much calories, its the things you do, a heavy bb workout would take around 500 calories.
So "normal" activity wouldn't even be close to 2500, that would mean most people burn more then they eat, then tell me why there are so many fat people around?
An avarage person would burn about 200-300 calories average, a heavy bodybuilding on a weight training day would burn around 700 to 800.
And if your "burning" 1000 calories from your fat stores, you would lose much more than just 1lb per week, why don't explain to me how you exactly know you burn 1000 calories from your fat stores, because that would be a miracle.
And you seem to be forgetting how much proteines your muscles need, it would mean you only had 500 calories for your body to use because you eat around 3000/3500, and you burn 2500.
Now lets say that those 500 calories were pure protein ( doubt that ) it would mean you only have 100g's of protein for your muscle to sustain itself and pack on muscle? so the reason you might seeing muscle gains is because you are lowering your bodyfat ( in a way I would never do ) and losing water, which would make your muscles to appear better,firmer and bigger.

Sitting down burns calories. Walking to the store uses calories. Digesting food uses calories.
I ASSUME people here would be ACTIVE people with some sort of AMBITION. The kind of people that will either stay around this board and succeed or go back into the general AFC/Slob mindframe.
I didnt take into account people that sit at home watching TV all day. I didnt include people who stay in the house with all their free time.
When I talk about burning calories when not excserizing, this would include being at school and at work. The walking you do from A-B. Making dinner, gardening, whatever. It all burns calories. And it all adds up.
The average day when I work out or do cardio, depending on if I'm cutting, I'll probably eat about [EXAMLPE ONLY] 2100. Include a weights session in that. so. thats 1600 left to burn. I get through that in a day where I'm not outisde doing much and I still lose fat when cutting. Maybe you think I'm a liar. Maybe 'naturally able'. But thats how it is. Hell, using your brain burns calories in one form or another.
If you want to get onto the topic of people being overweight, I'd class it as being picky. I gathered everyone here actually has interests etc. People who want to look great, people who are active.
I actually included the cardio twice a day etc. I said burning 2600 MINIMUM. I didnt say you lose that many calories when your sat on your ass all day wasting your life.
EDIT: I'm dosed up on some serious meds. Grammar and spelling, or general coherentess may suck.

I agree, but it is not alot, there are plenty of calculators around the net, look some up.
The most calories you would burn ( exercise/cardio not included ) following a DJ lifestyle would be close to one meal. ( around 300 cals or so )
I think you focus too much on the "Calories" instead of getting the right amount of proteines and carbs.
Dont just think that 3000 cals is good, you can achieve 3000 cals with just carbs and fat and no proteine, or alot of a proteine, less carbs, moderate amount of fat.

"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.

It's very atkins-esque. I'm not a fan of that. Atkins gets results faster short term, but not long term.
My body also has a *****ing habbit of getting the occasionally blockage. I've noticed that since the high protein diet first started and it can get damn uncomfortable
I think 40/40/20 is good for cutting, but I hate ratio's. I just go with what feels and looks good.
I seem to have hit the balence where I have small amounts of saturated and a lot of flax/fish oil to make up moderate fat levels. Everything else runs off of carbs, and I've been able to lower protein intake and still get the same results.
I'll only ever get 140g of protein these days. My body processes it perfectly and I seem to get the best results. Cant complain
