"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

How long, on average, would it take to drop down to 10%bf, from ~14%bf?

This is assuming clean diet, adequate rest, 3 day lifting a week, 5 days of cardio a week, etc.

I know it's individual, but there should be some time frame.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I dropped 3-5%(caliper margin of error is 2% give or take) from 13-15% to 9.5% in 4 months of dieting w/ minor cardio. Just cut off 99% of carbs with the exception of egg carbs 5-7 hours prior to bed,it takes time but definitely works! Good Luck!

There ways of losing fat very fast but a lot of muslce will be lost in the process and its basically saying that you don't have the patience to do it right.
 

"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.

Each whole egg has less then 1 gram off carbs according to the nutrition facts on the carton.

Yeah, less than 1g...which is trace carbs, which is next to nothing..could be 0.025g for all we know :) You're always gonna get a very small amount of carbohydrate in chicken etc, because there was probably some in the animal when if was slaughtered...and perhaps other reasons.

How I lost fat for a while (I was never fat, never got above 130lbs, but I still have the early-teen flab) was like this:

- ate at maintenance calories or slightly below
- cut off carbs 5-6hrs before bed.
- went on a few long walks per day.

I only did this because it was summer, hot, and I didn't have much appetite for some reason. I got cut like this, probably lost a lot of muscle (not that I had any anyway tho) as well. I'm not sure what I was doing was particularly healthy (calorie restriction for a reasonably long period), but I couldn't be bothered eating much.

Since I know you train, if I was you, I *wouldn't* restrict calories. You know how it's done, search for the posts by EFFORT and WBA :).

How much do you weigh? The more muscle you have the faster you can lower it.

Well, (this is aprox) 1g of carb = 4 calories
You can burn that by laying on the couch flicking the remote control.
