"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.

I just read the cutting up thread is says that cardio isnt that important to lose weight but my trainer said if I want to lose 25kg(approx 60lbs) he said that cardio is the most important thing, I should do 75% cardio 25% muscle so who's right my trainer or Diesel?
 

"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.

both, it's really the person and not the instruction they give you
but if I had to choose, I'd say DIESEL, it's what you eat that makes you, not what you do (yes, I was stupid that I've done over 2000 pushup but... hey, I thought it gave me strength)

Your trainer is right - except you're going to lose a ton of mass.

I'm right too.. except I'm MORE RIGHT (if that's gramatically correct) b/c at least with my method you'll still burn the fat but keep most of the mass.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If you need to lose 60 lbs, I guarantee you that you need cardio training. Your lungs and heart could use the exercise. One thing bodybuilders forget sometimes is that looking muscular isn't all there is to fitness..

I haven't found either straight cardio or straight diet any better than the other for maintaining muscle mass. Cardio eats away at my legs a little more, but dieting makes me feel lousier. You should mix your trainer's advice with a clean diet.

Big Forearms,
Totally agree,
This is a health and fitness forum not a body building forum.
I personally dont want " big muscles",
but i want what i've got to be defined, as they are,
just my preference, I'm not denigrating anyone here.
Regards
C

Whatever you chose to do. 15, 30, 45 min, or even an hour of cardio.....Please do strength training also. I know a lot of people who lost weight by doing just cardio and they look like ****. I don't mean that they don't look cut, I mean they look like ****!

I know you plan to but please do strength training also, and it will help you burn more calories.
