"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.

This is interesting but not that surprising.

Effectively if you want to lose weight while eating carbs, you should be eating them in their pre-packaged ratios of fiber as found in nature. It's this ratio that seems to be a key in how effective they are in terms of losing weight...

Fiber feeds the good bacteria in your gut which helps create hormones that regulate good processes in your body like blood sugar regulation, hunger and how quickly your stomach empties.

Which is why natural, unprocessed foods are always your best bet. They come intact the way we are supposed to be eating them.


 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Not surprising at all. You mean fruit and starchy vegetables (potatoes, legumes, and whole grains) are actually healthy?

Ya don’t say…

As long as you aren't one of the people who peel the skins off of fruits which contains most of the fiber haha

I keep the skin on my sweet potatoes, wash and dice them chunky and bake in the oven, that's most of my carbs with brown rice and bananas
