"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I'm beginning a cut pretty soon. Before anyone says anything, yes I know I have to be in a calorie deficit. What methods/tools do you guys use to reduce hunger and the temptation to cheat when you're in a calorie deficit? Please let me know, thanks.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

dieting/cutting brought me down from around 35% body fat to 25% body fat.

it did absolutely nothing after that, and i could not get rid of my gorilla torso until I introduced the walking machine on an incline

with the incline walking I eat what I want within reason, and still lose B/F every week

cook a bag of brocolli every other day to pick at

Along with your diet, OP, take a solid Magnesium Glycinate supplement.

It's the most bio-available oral form of magnesium out there. It helps with sugar cravings like you wouldn't believe.

Besides, an estimated 75% of Americans have a magnesium deficiency.

It's got 3,751 binding sites in the body. Very important.
Oral magnesium is not absorbed well. In fact of you take magnesium at a dose that would be effective orally all that will happen is you will sh!t it out since it stimulates bowel movements.

Magnesium is meant to be taken in transdermally through the skin. It's why bathing in ocean waters and the dead sea seem to help with chronic health conditions...it has very high levels of magnesium which are absorbed through the skin.

Magnesium oil, aka Magnesium Chloride is the most effective form of magnesium and by far the quickest way to get your levels up to normal.

95% of people are magnesium deficient and the majority of the people taking oral magnesium are still deficient.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Eat high satiety foods. Among the highest on the list are oatmeal and boiled potatoes. Also maintain a high protein intake. That helps quell hunger.

It’s easier to cycle carbs and do things like IMF than to worry about calorie deficit. During cuts I just cut carbs. Works every time.
Newer studies have actually shown you lose more weight on a high carb diet than on a low carb diet. It increases insulin sensitivity and various other metabolic functions that help with weight loss.

A lot of weight being lost on keto diets is glycogen and water.

Also drinking a lot of water and staying hydrated keeps you from overeating. A lot of times people think they are hungry when it's really their brain misinterpreting thirst for hunger.

No.

The formula is less calories in then burned. How a person gets there doesn’t really matter. The difference is that healthy protein and fat sources are usually greater in nutritional profile and considerably more satiating than carbohydrates are.

This study says otherwise. Also probably 70% of people are in a constant state of dehydration and oftentimes their body is giving them thirst signals they take as hunger signals. Drinking water is the best satiety method out there for multiple reasons.

 

"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.

That is one poor study that is also misleading. No one would classify 140 g of carbohydrates as a “high carb” diet. We will add that to the pseudo science pile.

If you eat less than you burn, you lose weight. The goal is to maximize nutrition in those calories while staying satiated. For most people, low carb works well due to its simplicity.

You know what works much better than constantly restricting calories over a long period of time?

Fasting fully for 24-30 hours twice a week(or 60-65 hours once a week) and then eating normally(with one cheat day) the other days. Burn almost pure fat on those days instead of 50/50 muscle and fat at best, resets leptin levels and revs thyroid to burn fat more efficiently and you will get to where you want to go a lot quicker.

Ok? I said very clearly less calories in then burned = weight loss. Fasting uses that same formula.
