"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.
LOSING Muscle on a diet? Oh NOes??? But..

"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.

It applies to anyone. There is no way to avoid losing muscle while cutting calories, unless you are taking steroids, but you can minimize it.
-1g protein per pound of bodyweight daily
-lift relatively heavy in terms of weight. Lower reps, more weight
-walking ONLY for cardio activities
-prioritize 8 hours of sleep per night
-fasting for 24 hours 1-2x per week is muscle sparing due to influx of GH released(up to 700% normal) and will burn almost pure fat.

Needed to shed some belly fat and have lost quite abit of excess weight around the belly.
In regards to muscle loss, I don't seem to has lost much. Have been eating one high protein meal a day, and maybe one little snack.
Been lifting consistently throughout, heavier weights.
Also cardio wise, no intense running, just walk in the treadmill.
I may need to slightly increase my calories now, as I want to gain some more muscle mass considering I have lost the belly.
However my concern is, the belly will come back soon as I up the calories.
I don't think I can sustain one meal a day long term, the heavier I lift, the more my body is starving for calories.
I think I need to be realistic, at age 47 it's highly unlikely I can sustain a flat stomach at all times lol
