Quotes of the Day

One small but revealing study found that subjects on an alternate-day fasting (ADF) diet did lose weight-but they also lost more lean mass (i.e. muscle) than subjects who simply ate 25% fewer calories every day. This study was limited because of its small size and short duration, but it suggests that fasting might cause some people, especially lean people, to lose too much muscle. On top of this, the ADF group had much lower activity levels during the study, which suggests that they were not feeling very good on the days they were not eating. [2023] - Peter Attia

In addressing personal performance, if there is a problem you are first seeking her agreement that an actual problem exists. Next, ask how she sees the problem and then honestly share your perspective. Depending on the situation, you may need to discuss the consequences for her if there is no change in the situation. A big part of the process is discussing alternate solutions. "How are we going to solve this problem?" Keep an open mind, but the point of the discussion is to arrive at mutually agreeable course of action. This needs to be specific and should spell out expectations, responsibilities, and time lines. Again, write it down. [2004] - Gary Keller

If you're chatting with a chick you've just met, she's running the old eight-track on you: The first track is her judging how you look. The second track is her judging how you move. The third track is her judging how you dress. The fourth track is her judging how you sound. The fifth track is her judging your character. The sixth track is judging your probable job. The seventh track is judging how much you like her. And finally, only the eighth track is listening to what you have to say. [2006] - Leil Lowndes
