"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Evening everyone.

Im really struggling getting my torso fat to shift,

I dont drink alcohol at all, and I have about 1 takeaway meal a week, about two chocolate bars a week, the rest of my meals are good nutrition meals and i dont fry anything. I dont use sugar or eat bread

I walk incline on the treadmill 30 minutes. 6 times a week. till Im dripping in sweat

and I lift heavy 6 times a week. you really would think Id have a real decent fat burning torso. but its covered in a layer of love fat which is really starting to annoy me now. I run at around 22% body fat. ( I looked pretty good on keto but lost my muscle)

Im thinking about encorporating 1 fast day every 3 days, or 1 day a week where I live off protein shakes? any thoughts on this or similar?

I have friends who drink beer/crisps and chocolate daily with better Body fat.....and its getting me down tbh
Three things.
Firstly, you cannot burn body fat from a specific place. There is no way to get your torso fat to “shift”. This is a little known myth of working out. Google it. You can only lower your overall body fat percentage. Yes, burning calories and working out will usually take some fat from the stomach, but it will take just as much from your glutes, legs, and back. There is no way to target which parts of your body to burn fat from just like there is no way to strengthen half of your bicep or lower blood sugar in a specific part of your body. Trust me, I used to be a personal trainer.
Secondly, six days a week of working out is a bit much according to any expert and you are probably getting less gains on muscle because you aren’t giving your body time to rest. 4-5 days a week with spaced-out rest days is a much more beneficial plan, especially if you are lifting heavy.
Third, fasting doesn’t work for this benefit. Fasting can be helpful in other ways but it will not help you get rid of body weight. You will just be more hungry and overeat the next day. And if on the day after you continue to underfeed yourself, your body will actually begin to take away from your muscles in order to survive, not the fat. So your muscles will actually shrink and you will have accomplished nothing.
