What are you on about
It was a failed attempt at humour based on the approach that one of the fun forms of teasing / flirting with a willing accomplice is to say quite explicitly that you aren't doing it. In an effort to keep it child-friendly / avoid a ban, I only ended up being vague! Women understand it easily enough. It's the same as sending a text out of the blue to a lover saying "I'm not thinking about you
"You're just rusty, that's all. Eat protein 20 mins before you meet and have a couple of glucose jelly beans just before (or a lucazade) and you'll be fine.
What's your question? Science-based knowledge of the effects of different foods on a person's state of mind is standard in my household and not a few others.

This woman doesn't understand it

Cheesebrain. I'm not thinking about you either. So pfft. And thankyou
You just need to go into this with the mind set that if this woman didn't like you, she wouldn't be going on a date with you. You are totally safe to assume there is attraction there unless it's overtly clear you're just platonic friends. So treat this as a date with a woman that likes you, work on that assumption, don't second guess yourself. The only time you should change this assumption is if she makes it clear she isn't interested in you.
Sorry, it was more a statement of disbelief as opposed to an actual question... However it does make me wonder if you're making suggestions from a purely theoretical standpoint or whether you've had practical experience.
No, actual experience. I'm a skeptic like most people, and moreso by formal training and practice.
e: It's the same advice I gave to my children, to their advantage (confidence when going on a first date, job interview, exam).

Go for that date, have fun and see what comes of it. No point worrying or even thinking about what will or will not happen.
Most if not all of us have been there, going on a date with someone that due to the hope of things going somewhere you fear that they'll go nowhere.
Just focus on having a good night out with a beautiful woman and try not to think about the what ifs? If she wasn't interested she wouldn't be going on a date with you.
Are you naive or just being offensive or ?
I beg to differ. Australian primary school children have been taught the glucose effect fact for more than 10 years. And just from your own experience, have you once ever felt anxious after a steak?
Over a year ago a girl who I knew asked if she could accompany me the next time I went the beach, I thought it odd and more or less dismissed it (being single for too long), but then I decided to invite her, she took the effort to catch the train and come to me, I was myself, she fell for me and we've being together for a year now and are so happy together, were very lucky as she is into computers, cars, travelling and all the sexy stuff, so we just match so well and here's hoping for another great year together, though were taking the big step of moving in together now.
As others say if a girl makes effort to see you, spend her time to see you, she likes you, just be confident and not over-confident and if all goes well the next step is book a hotel weekend away for the two of you and you can then seal the deal.

Yes, it's an easy fuel / diet-based option. Or for before anything stressful that requires
1. being decisive (protein: 20-50g) and
2. persistent easily (glucose)
Yank nutritional advisors to business have known this stuff and published on it more than 20 years ago. It's not new.
