How much fish oil are you getting in?
And I hope that was a joke about double time at the gym...

"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.
Karmas' Renovation Journal
- Thread starter KarmaSutra
- Start date
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You don't need the double time, it doesn't work like that. 10g fish oil is a good start but I would recommend you doubled the dose at some point.KarmaSutra said:

Quagmire
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Give him a break 
It's not easy to suddenly change habits after 30+ years. I know even at my age it took me a few months to get eating habits down.
Karma, just make sure that whenever you go out and buy tomatoes again, be conscious of what you're going to eat them with.
Whenever i buy tuna, I know that that isn't enough(too clean), so I make sure to buy the right amount of cottage cheese at the same time. Then whenever I eat tuna, I coat it with cottage cheese. protein + fat OR protein + carbs should constitute all of your meals. Carbs + fat is a surefire way to gain bodyfat. Protein by itself gets used by the body as a fuel source, and thus doesn't get pumped into the muscles.
When u eat pro. + carbs, the body can more easily break down carbs, so it uses them for energy and the protein gets stored. Same thing with dietary fats.
Remember, make sure whenever you put any food into ur piehole, it always contains protein+carb or protein+fat.
cheers!

Which is why I'm eating tons of natural peanut butter. Loads of fat and protein.
I'm feeling very lethargic this morning going into tonight. I've slept for almost 11 hours today which is highly abnormal for me. If I get more than 6 hours of sleep I'm worthless but today I just feel horrible.
My bloodsugar is at a nice 100 though :rockon:
My stomach felt like I was going to give birth to a bowling ball so I haven't really eaten today. However:
Meal 1 - ham slices and shredded cheese with a jell-0 cup.
Meal 2 - Mrs. K picked up some hot wings (naked) so I'll eat those if my stomach gets better.

"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.

Fibre Choice has weight management tabs or ones with calcium. What's your take on these?

My take is eat your veggies and nuts/seeds.
1-2lbs of green veggies a day will give you a host of goodness (and a big metabolism boost) as well as the fibre.
The only fibre supplement I like is Benefibre as it's about the only one I know of with no added sugar/carbs (like Metamucil). But it's best to get your fibre from whole foods.

This is a good thread. Good luck, Karmasutra.
fwiw, if you go to www.whfoods.com and type in 'insulin' in the search box, you will get a list of foods that have natural insulin-regulating properties. I have read about third-world diabetics too poor to afford insulin who have been able to regulate their blood sugar by eating a lot of cinammon.

I just bought 2 jars of real organic ground cinnamon so I'll give that a try too. I take cinnamon capsules every day with my pills but haven't really seen any significant gain.Bible_Belt said:

"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.

I pulled a 14.5 hour day yesterday so I was a zombie.
Slept all day today and will be in the gym at 0705.
Also I upped my fish oil intake to 15 grams per day for a week then I'll increase it again.
Blood sugar has not gotten over 145 in 13 days.

How low are them squats? 315 x 8 is stout if it was all the way down.
"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.
