I'm trying to loose weight and was wondering if I should be drinking protien shakes, if so which would be the best ? I've heard whey, but I don't know. Also, is it better to eat carbs before or after a workout?
"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.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

When i excersize i eat lots of carbs before although not right before and i eat a huge amount straight after but i am in to serious sport here. If you want to lose weight you want to be buring more calories then you take in and make sure you excersize a lot aswell because it burns claories and stops muscles breaking down, with out it your muscles would breakdown instead of fat.
Why protein shakes? carbs are good as long as you are burning more, most importanlty have low fat food, avoid sugar and alcohole.

lifeforce please explain to me why protein is a necesity whilst cutting. Dam i miss read the original post i thought he said excersize but he said working out, so like yeah the protein stops the cuting from destroying your muscles aslong as you work your muscles which is where the working out comes in to play
next time i will just read the post more acuratly

For the first part protein is more difficult for the body to break down so it has the most thermogenic effect of all the macro nutrients. It's also used to rebuild muscle and excess protein will be used as energy. This makes sure that the body get more protein that it needs so the muscle loss is minimal by providing all the necessary amino acids in great quaintity. Other than that there are a number of different positive traits of high protein intake. I read an article a long time ago about the benefit of hight protein intake, I think it was on ironadditcs. If any of you have the link please post it.
Carbs in large amounts are not good for cutting either, they store water and make you look fuller effectivly demoralizing you and make you look like you don't make any progress. Get enough carbs to maintain your training, but don't cut based on carbs.

"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.

are you sure excess protein is used for energy? protein is a source of energy, kuscle is broken down for energy during excersize but because protein can not be stored like fat, the body gets rid of it so unless you are refering to taking protein during or shortly before workout/ excersize the excess protein just gets wasted. Even if you take it during, ask any professinal and you will find a lot of mixed oppinions on it. Personaly i think the energy you would gain from excess protein during working out would be minimal, its probably more about replenishing muscles during workouts which is why my cycling energy bars contain some protein aswell.

i googled it to verify what you are saying and it says it is actuly turned in to carbohydrate not glycogen, it takes further time for carbs to be turned in to glycogen meaning it is not very usefull.

oh thats diffrent then, when i cycle i do most of my eating before my longest ride of the week which is on sundays, through out the whole week i just get my glycogen stores as high as possible.
After that for the next 2 hours i eat a load of carbohydrate and protein whilst walking aorund a bit as light excersizeis better then sitting around for recovery.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
