Well?
"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.
When you steam foods, are you taking the nutrients out?

"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.

Water soluble vitamins are sometimes vaporized out, especially if u tend to overcook your food. However, steaming is one of the healthiest methods to prepare cooked food.

Sometimes, but not the essiental ones.
Steaming and the Forman grill is the healthiest way to go. Multimineral/vitamin should sort out any losses anyway, if you're taking them.

Steaming is just one step short of boiling, which is the worst (unless you drink the water in which it is boiled, preferably as a soup w/some soup-stock stired in - this btw is how many Asian dishes are made) for nutrient retention. But it's still better than boiling food. The best method is to grill things - even vegetables.

What if you are steaming chicken breasts? I do it because it takes less time to prepare...But the way I do it is put a little water in a saucepan and cover it and let the steam cook it...But if there is a little water left in, do the nutrients get into the water? I was mainly concerned about protien...
"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.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I cant see you steaming the **** out of a chicken breast to the point where it loses much protein. Even if you steamed it until the proverbial cow came home.
And yes, using the 'water' is a great idea. Always do it to make a gravy and such like. Hell, when you boil something, you can make gravy with the water that you boiled it with. Resourcfulness![and bad spelling!] It makes average gravy taste awesome.

Yea the protein wont leave unless you burn the meat, in which all that is left is charcoal, or carbon. Cooking protein denatures it, which messes up the confirmation, but actually increases absorptiveness.Originally posted by DJBen
