"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.

is this the most effective diet for fat loss, in general?

and for carb cutoffs before bed, basically anything can be eaten during this time-just no carbs at all except veggies?

stuff like lots of fat wont matter?
 

"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.

depends, is it pre-post carbs, post only carbs, at breakfast too? many variations of the timed carb diet.

generally these are best for body recomp i.e. muscle gain+fat loss simultaneously.

for pure fat loss I would do things a bit differently (but still while maintaining strength) but a timed carb is a great way to get going.

well i was rereading some of your old posts wba, and i always thought you advocated bulk/cut cycles. guess i was wrong. i wanted to gain muscle, but i didnt want the instability of looks during bulk/cut cycles so i read again and noticed your posts. :)
my goal is to gain strength (very least maintain) while cutting fat. what do you suggest with this? id say im 16-17% bf with a good lifting program going on.
for sure i will carb post wo. prewo, and mornings, im not sure?

what, me advocate bulk/cut cycles... :nono: :eek:

start with just pwo carbs (and a carb day) and see how you go. you can always add in later if you find performance degrading - but make sure you're getting in plenty of fats as well before adding more carbs.

I think most people can get by on really low carb diets but they're not for everyone. you must try it and see.

also, do not neglect your cardio.
 

"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.

peanutr/almond butter ok as midnight snack?
Even though it's fat and not carbs, It's still energy. When you sleep and metabolism slows down, the energty isn't really needed. Just stored. Depending on your metabolism ofcource. If you have an easy time gaining weight, drop the carbs and fats at night.

we don't want the metabolism slow at night, we need it to run hot..

pb/ab is fine as long as it's accounted for in the diet, i.e. don't eat a jar in the middle of the night and expect to lose significant weight..
