It's hard to get around solid natural high quality foods, almost impossible. I get mines in chicken breasts, salmon, eggs, i do beef about once or twice a month tops. A protein shake may be thrown in occasionally.
"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 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.

Egg whites are a good source. Very low reactive also

I switched completely to sweet potatoe because oats have a reaction in some people which cause inflammation.

I was eating one serving of oats... But for whatever reason sweet potatoe results in some sweating and elevated body temps when i'm doing my thing, going to stay with this...

On the topic of digestion, I've been using Align probiotic and it has helped quite a bit. I'm not planning to use it long term and wanted so see what you use to get probiotics. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of yogurt
"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.

Homemade Kefir, kefir water or sauerkraut are the best forms of beneficial bacteria

I use a very high quality protein, so I didn't experience this, but if you say so.

Has nothing to do with protein quality, it has to do with concentrated milk's reaction in many people. The highest quality protein in the world will still cause problems to people who have inflammatory actions towards it.
Humans are the only species who continue to drink milk after they stop feeding from their mothers.

That's true, however, there are many non-dairy options.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Icelandic yogurt (skyr) is better than Greek.

Going to try to keep it clean from here on out. Also drinking about a gallon and a half of water a day.

That water intake is too high unless you are severely dehydrated or really sweating a lot. Ideal amount is half your body weight in ounces with more needed if you are working out hard and/or sweating a lot.
More doesn't equate to better.

Vaping is not helping your health
"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 was playing gold 2 Saturdays ago and the next morning I couldn't move my rotator cuff and my brachialis/brachioradialis was in pain. I was able to move my rotator cuff freely a couple days later and bench pressing is no problem. So about 2 weeks later, my brachialis/brachioradialis has pain again to the point where it was near impossible to do bicep curls. Anyone had this happen to them?

I rode my bike to the gym tdoay and a super cute asian chick checked me in, probably saw me dismounting. She gave me a pretty seductive smile and gaze that totally made my workout and day so much better.
Upped my squats to 130 on the smith machine doing 5x5.

Unless you want to injure yourself, don't do Smith machine squats ever.
Completely unnatural motion for the body to do, especially when squatting.
If you are afraid to do normal squats or there isn't a squat rack, a much better alternative would be to use a bench and do Bulgarian Split Squats with dumbbells
i actually pulled this off in about two weeks last month for my trip to Las Vegas.
ate minimal food, salads with eggs as my entire meal for the day. (consumed less than 500 calories a day)
two eggs boiled or scrambled for the day.
worked out lifting and running. Cut sweets and carbs completely.
After two weeks i lost 14lbs. I was planning a vacation to vegas and wanted to be able to eat and look better without blowing up. My friends saw me and asked what i did to lose weight.
