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

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

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:
As of Monday we'll start you on a structured training plan.

"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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
"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.
