Dua Lipa - New Rules Lyrics

One, one, one
Talkin' in my sleep at night
Makin' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out
Hopin' it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
Oh, he makes me feel like nobody else
Nobody else
But my love, he doesn't love me
So I tell myself, I tell myself
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
I keep pushin' forwards
But he keeps pullin' me backwards
(Nowhere to turn, no way)
(Nowhere to turn, no)
Now I'm standing back from it
I finally see the pattern
(I never learn, I never learn)
But my love, he doesn't loves me
So I tell myself, I tell myself
I do, I do, I do
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna' learn it by heart
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it 'cause I (I, I, I)
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
I've got new rules, I count 'em (baby you know I count 'em)
I've gotta tell them to myself
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
You ain't getting over him

Shape Of You - Ed Sheeran Lyrics

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go (mmmm)
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow (mmmm)
And you come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now (mmmm)
Take my hand, stop, put Van The Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance
And now I'm singing like

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead (mmmm)

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date (mmmm)
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate (mmmm)
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay (mmmm)
And leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play
And I'm singing like

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead (mmmm)

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
I'm in love with your body
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
I'm in love with your body
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

Halfway Right - Linkin Park Lyrics

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

Used to get high with the dead end kids
Abandoned houses where the shadows lived
I never been higher than I was that night
I woke up driving my car
I couldn't see then what I see right now
The road dissolving like an empty vow
Couldn't remember where I'd been that night
I knew I took it too far

All you said to do was slow down
I remember, now I remember
All you said to do was slow down
But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right
I know what I want, but it feels like I'm paralyzed
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right (halfway right)

Told me, "Kid, you're going way too fast
You burn too bright, you know you'll never last"
It was bullshit then, I guess it makes sense now
I woke up driving my car
Said I'd lose you if I lost control
I just laughed because what do they know?
Here I am, standing all alone
Because I took it too far

All you said to do was slow down
I remember, now I remember
All you said to do was slow down
But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right
I know what I want, but it feels like I'm paralyzed
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right, halfway right

But I was already gone
I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

But I was already gone
I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

Battle Symphony - Linkin Park Lyrics

I got a long way to go

And a long memory

I been searching for an answer

Always just out of reach

Blood on the floor

Sirens repeat

I been searching for the courage

To face my enemies

When they turn down the lights

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

Battle symphony

Please just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

For my battle symphony

For my battle symphony

They say that I don't belong

Say that I should retreat

That I'm marching to the rhythm

Of a lonesome defeat

But the sound of your voice

Puts the pain in reverse

No surrender, no illusions

And for better or worse

When they turn down the lights

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

Battle symphony

Please just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

If I fall, get knocked down

Pick myself up off the ground

If I fall, get knocked down

Pick myself up off the ground

When they turn down the lights

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

Battle symphony

Please just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

For my battle symphony

For my battle symphony

Sorry For Now - Linkin Park Lyrics

[Mike Shinoda:]
Watching the wings cut through the clouds
Watching the raindrops blinking red and white
Thinking of you back on the ground
There with a fire burning in your eyes
I only halfway apologized

[Mike Shinoda:]
And I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
Sometimes things refuse
To go the way we planned
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day
That you will understand
You will understand

[Mike Shinoda:]
After a while you may forget
But just in case the memories cross your mind
You couldn't know this when I left
Under the fire of your angry eyes
I never wanted to say goodbye

[Mike Shinoda:]
So I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
Sometimes things refuse
To go the way we planned
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day
That you will understand
You will understand

[Chester Bennington:]
Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up
Tried to call home but nobody could wait up
Switch your time zones can't pick the pace up
I just passed out by the time you wake up
Best things come to those who wait
And it's bound to get rough on any road you take
But don't you ever have a doubt and make no mistake
I can't wait to come back when I'm going away

[Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):]
So I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There are things we have to do that we can't stand
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day that you will understand
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There are things we have to do that we can't stand
(Things we have to do that we can't stand)
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day that you will understand
You will understand [3x]

Talking To Myself - Linkin Park Lyrics

Tell me what I've gotta do
There's no getting through to you
The lights are on but nobody's home (nobody's home)
You say I can't understand
But you're not giving me a chance
When you leave me, where do you go? (where do you go?)

All the walls that you keep building
All this time that I spent chasing
All the ways that I keep losing you

And the truth is, you turn into someone else
You keep running like the sky is falling
I can whisper, I can yell
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
I'm just talking to myself
Talking to myself
Talking to myself
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
I'm just talking to myself

I admit I made mistakes
But yours might cost you everything
Can't you hear me calling you home? (calling you home)

Oh, all the walls that you keep building
All this time that I spent chasing
All the ways that I keep losing you

And the truth is, you turn into someone else
You keep running like the sky is falling
I can whisper, I can yell
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
I'm just talking to myself
Talking to myself
Talking to myself
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
I'm just talking to myself

All the walls that you keep building
All this time that I spent chasing
All the ways that I keep losing you

And the truth is, you turn into someone else
You keep running like the sky is falling
I can whisper, I can yell
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
I'm just talking to myself
I'm talking to myself
I'm talking to myself
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
Talking to myself

Sharp Edges - LINKIN PARK Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama always told me don't you run
"Don't you run with scissors, son
You're gonna hurt someone"
Mama told me look before you leap
Always think before you speak, and watch the friends you keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

[Chorus]
Sharp edges have consequences, I
Guess that I had to find out for myself
Sharp edges have consequences, now
Every scar is a story I can tell

[Verse 2]
Should've played it safer from the start
Loved you like a house of cards
Let it fall apart
But all the things I couldn't understand
Never could've planned
They made me who I am
Put your nose in paperbacks
Instead of smoking cigarettes
These are years you're never getting back

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

[Chorus]
Sharp edges have consequences, I
Guess that I had to find out for myself
Sharp edges have consequences, now
Every scar is a story I can tell

[Bridge]
We all fall down
We live somehow
We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
We all fall down
We live somehow
We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

[Chorus]
Sharp edges have consequences, I
Guess that I had to find out for myself
Sharp edges have consequences, now
Every scar is a story I can tell

[Outro]
We all fall down
We live somehow
We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
We all fall down
We live somehow
We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Heavy - Linkin Park Lyrics

[Chester Bennington:]
I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on

[Kiiara:]
Why is everything so heavy?
You say that I'm paranoid
But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me
It's not like I make the choice
To let my mind stay so fucking messy
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

[Chester Bennington:]
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same

[Kiiara:]
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me

[Chester Bennington:]
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on

[Chester Bennington and Kiiara]:
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

Why is everything so heavy?

[Chester Bennington:]
Why is everything so heavy?

Good Goodbye - Linkin Park Lyrics

[Chester:]
So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
'Cause you can't come back around here
Good goodbye
(Don't you come back no more)

[Mike:]
Live from the rhythm, it's
Something wild, venomous
Enemies trying to read me
You're all looking highly illiterate
Blindly forgetting if I'm in the mix
You won't find an equivalent
I've been here killing it
Longer than you've been alive, you idiot
And it makes you so mad
Somebody else could be stepping in front of you
And it makes you so mad that you're not the only one
There's more than one of you
And you can't understand the fact
That it's over and done, hope you had fun
You've got a lot to discuss on the bus
Headed back where you're from

[Chester:]
So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
'Cause you can't come back around here
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye

[Pusha T:]
(Wooh!)
Goodbye, good riddance
A period is after every sentence
Did my time with my cellmate
Maxed out so now we finished
Every day was like a hail date
Every night was like a hailstorm
Took her back to my tinted windows
Showin' out, she in rare form
Wings up, now I'm airborne
King Push, they got a chair for him
Make way for the new queen
The old lineup, where they cheer for 'em
Consequence when you ain't there for him
Were you there for him?
Did you care for him?
You were dead wrong

[Chester:]
(Don't you come back no more)
So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
'Cause you can't come back around here
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
(Don't you come back no more)
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
(Don't you come back no more)

[Stormzy:]
Yo
Let me say goodbye to my demons
Let me say goodbye to my past life
Let me say goodbye to the darkness
Tell 'em that I'd rather be here in the starlight
Tell 'em that I'd rather be here where they love me
Tell 'em that I'm yours this is our life
And I still keep raising the bar like
Never seen a young black brother in the chart twice
Goodbye to the stereotypes
You can't tell my kings we can't
Mandem we're linking tings in parks
Now I got a tune with Linkin Park
Like goodbye to my old hoe’s
Goodbye to the cold roads
I can't die for my postcode
Young little Mike from the Gold Coast
And now I'm inside with my bro bro's
Gang

[Chester:]
So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
'Cause you can't come back around here
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
(Don't you come back no more)
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
(Don't you come back no more)

Invisible - Linkin Park Lyrics

I've got an aching head
Echoes and buzzing noises
I know the words we said
But wish I could've turned our voices down
This is not black and white
Only organized confusion
I'm just trying to get it right
And in spite of all I should've done

I was not mad at you
I was not trying to tear you down
The words that I could've used
I was too scared to say out loud
If I cannot break your fall
I'll pick you up right off the ground
If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now

Invisible
Invisible
Invisible
Invisible

You didn't get your way
And it's an empty feeling
You've got a lot to say
And you just want to know you're being heard
But this is not black and white
There are no clear solutions
And I'm just trying to get it right
And in spite of all I should've done

I was not mad at you
I was not trying to tear you down
The words that I could've used
I was too scared to say out loud
If I cannot break your fall
I'll pick you up right off the ground
If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now

Invisible
Invisible
Invisible
Invisible

This is not black and white
There are no clear solutions
I'm just trying to get it right
And in spite of all I should've done

I was not mad at you
I was not trying to tear you down
The words that I could've used
I was too scared to say out loud
If I cannot break your fall
I'll pick you up right off the ground
If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now

Invisible

Nobody Can Save Me - Linkin Park Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm dancing with my demons
I'm hanging off the edge
Storm clouds gather beneath me
Waves break above my head
Headfirst hallucination

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wanna fall wide awake now
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight

[Chorus]
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing out the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me

[Verse 2]
Stared into this illusion
For answers yet to come
I chose a false solution
But nobody proved me wrong
Headfirst hallucination

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wanna fall wide awake
Watch the ground giving way now
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight

[Chorus]
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing out the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me

[Bridge]
Been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here (I wanna fall wide awake now)
I've been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here (I wanna fall wide awake now)
I wanna fall wide awake now
So tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight

[Outro]
And only I can save me now
I'm holding up a light
Chasing out the darkness inside
And I don't wanna let you down
But only I can save me!

Been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here

One More Light - Linkin Park Lyrics

Should've stayed. Were there signs I ignored?
Can I help you not to hurt anymore?
We saw brilliance when the world was asleep.
There are things that we can have but can't keep.

If they say,

Who cares if one more light goes out
In the sky of a million stars?
It flickers, flickers.
Who cares when someone's time runs out
If a moment is all we are?
Or quicker, quicker.
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well, I do.

The reminders pull the floor from your feet.
In the kitchen one more chair than you need.
Oh.
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair.
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

If they say,

Who cares if one more light goes out
In the sky of a million stars?
It flickers, flickers.
Who cares when someone's time runs out
If a moment is all we are?
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well, I do.

Who cares if one more light goes out
In the sky of a million stars?
It flickers, flickers.
Who cares when someone's time runs out
If a moment is all we are?
Or quicker, quicker.
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well, I do.
Well, I do.

Motivational Speech and Some Suicides - TRAGEDY OF MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH

Who can offer motivational speeches?

- Those who succeeded in life with Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Kazi Nazrul Islam, Rabindranath Tagore, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and others. I do not know the names of all the successful people, it is not possible to mention.

Why can they give motivational speeches? Because- they have achieved something in life that nobody else could do. Successful in each of the different cases. Although they are not as good at studies, they are different from other 100 people and are successful in thinking about exceptional thinking. Hum is different than 100 people. Their academic education has not been more than successful, but has succeeded by any other work. They can give motivational speeches to encourage their thinking about this success and to encourage new, exceptional thinking. That is why the scholars have to read the biography. It is known, who came to the present time through the difficult situation.

Now it is said that Newton or our Nazrul Islam could not cross 10 more school life. How many of them have succeeded? And how many people who have passed those failures? What does failure mean? I did not want to be a poet any day, so I did not even try to write poetry. Is that why I fail? We do not know the names of 10 friends of Nazrul Islam, those 10 people have failed in life? Have no achievements in their lives? Their family, money was nothing? Those who were educated at that time, could not do anything in life? Yes, they are not all famous as Nazrul. That's why Nazrul, Rabindranath exception. That's why they are not born every day. That's why they could have motivational speeches.

What famous person has said in his motivational speech till date that there is no need to study, leaving all the books in the bookstore at the storeroom, do the job? Academic knowledge, certificates, or education have always been a different value. Where is it said that you cannot be famous?

A paper or a test will not determine your future - it has been so prevalent that before all the tests, I have seen this sentence on Facebook. What does this mean? Indirectly discourages a candidate from studying. To test him, despised the best results. Seeing the conversation everyone saw themselves as Einstein or Rabindranath and the result was seen in the results after the test. An SSC or an HSC student is a tin applicant. His thoughts are very distraught. You are taking the wrong way by saying such things to him. Will he give you any guarantees that Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg will be tested with bad tests? Can not What can be done is to indirectly prompt him to commit suicide after bad results.

Those who say - Regale or whatever comes, they also give priority to the best-rated workers while recruiting workers in their own organization. Or the bad results of any boy/girl, it is ridiculed in his absence. So why did he go wrong on the name of the motivational speaker before the test? There is a dream of a family with a boy/girl. Your Result Does not Determine Your Life - How Did It Know That How Many Children Destroyed The Life of a Girl? By taking such a bad message, if a person commits suicide, who will take his responsibility? You take it? All the boys/girls will not get bad results in your speech, such as the fact that all of the bad results will not be Newton, Nazrul or Zuckerberg. If they were, they would not have been unique. The result is worse than the best results in the world. Why is there a drop in student students, why Bill Gates is one on earth, why did not another like Rabindranath?

I know there are many mistakes in our education system, the testing system. Of course, these are unacceptable. But what should be the cost of education so low? At the beginning of the day, such a speech will come - school, need not be admitted to college, develop your own skills - only then will be successful in life.

Completing academic education, finding good results and acquiring special skills in any other work is a completely different subject. Ten texts cannot be successful by excluding reading or bad results. From 10 to 2 people can be successful. There is no point in discouraging the teaching of the remaining 7 people, there is no need to read the writing, the cost of the certificate, the value of the best results. This time, 14 people have probably committed suicide after HSC result. They have made such a tragic decision because of bad results, depression, family scares or fear of man's stubbornness. Maybe the result of 2-3 people is uncertain, but the result of the rest of the year is not the result of their studies. In their minds, the idea was that without teaching, I would be Einstein or create something like Facebook!

I wrote a lot of posts. Written by extreme annoying. Hope everyone will understand what the original purpose of this writing is.

Real Bruce Lee's diet and exercise routine Collected post for you Guys.

Bruce Lee is famous for his devotion to martial arts and his great abilities in this field. He was not only an exceptional martial artist, but also a serious bodybuilder. He firmly believed that diet and nutrition played a very important role in achieving his objectives. However, he was not an expert in nutrition, he gained most of his information from bodybuilding magazines and experimented with different supplements in addition to eating a well balanced healthy diet. For Bruce Lee a good diet was one that provided him with the energy and nutrients to maximize his physical training.

The following diet rules are based on what is known about Bruce Lee’s daily eating regime. There are many references to “The Bruce Lee Diet”, but really such a diet simply attempts to replicate Bruce Lee’s dietary and eating patterns, as well as his fitness regimes, to try to attain a physique similar to that of Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee’s diet and exercise regime meant that he had close to zero percent body fat. Following this diet regime could help you to lose belly fat as well as improve muscular growth.

Bruce Lee Diet Rule 1: Avoid Refined Flour

Generally Bruce Lee avoided refined flour. So, he did not eat many baked foods such as biscuits and cakes, which he described as being “empty calories“. It is worth mentioning that today many people attribute irritable bowel syndrome to the excess consumption of refined flours. His philosophy was not to consume calories that did not provide some benefit to the body.

This approach to eating is very similar to that of the Buddhist scriptures, which states:

“You must learn to be moderate in eating, and eat only enough to remain healthy, and fit for trance. For excessive food obstructs the flow of the breath as it goes in and out, induces lassitude (lack of vitality), sleepiness, and kills all valour. As too much food has unfortunate consequences, also starvation does not lead to efficiency. For starvation drains away the body’s volume, lustre, firmness, performance and strength. You should take food in accordance with your individual capacity, neither too much nor, from pride, too little.”

Bruce Lee Diet Rule 2: Chinese Food

Bruce Lee enjoyed Chinese food, as he felt that western food was often too bland. Some of his favourite Chinese dishes were beef in oyster sauce and tofu. However, he loved to eat steak and liver too, but overall preferred the more balanced approach of Asian dishes. He felt that often Western food placed too much emphasis on protein and fat and not enough on carbohydrates from vegetables, rice, pasta etc.

Bruce Lee Diet Rule 3: Avoid Dairy Food

Bruce Lee did not like dairy food, and only ate dairy as part of protein drinks, usually using powdered milk instead of fresh milk. This rule only helps to reduce total energy intake. Calcium from dairy has been found to help reduce the amount of fat that is digested.

Bruce Lee Diet Rule 4: Smaller Portions and More Meals

For Bruce Lee concentration on the type of foods eaten were not the only important consideration, the size of portions and number of meals were just as important. Bruce Lee would usually consume four or five smaller meals a day rather than a couple of large meals, plus some healthy snacks such as fruits.

Today bodybuilders often follow similar eating habits, eating high protein meals approximately every four hours to ensure the body has a good supply of proteins to help build and repair muscle tissue. Eating more often than every four hours can put too much pressure on the digestive system, leading to indigestion. This is another reason why constant snacking is not good for you.

Bruce Lee Diet Rule 5: Drink Protein Drinks

Bruce Lee consumed one or two protein drinks every day, plus fruit smoothies too. Although his protein drinks varied, they generally consisted of:

• Non-instant powdered milk – which is reported to have a higher concentration of calcium than other forms of powdered milk
• Eggs – sometimes with the shells
• Wheat germ / wheat germ oil
• Peanut butter
• Banana
• Brewers yeast (contains concentrated B vitamins, which are essential in the release of energy from carbohydrates).
• Inositol supplement (Inositol is found in many foods, particularly in cereals with high bran content. Inositol plays an important part in the health of cell membrane, in particular the specialized cells in the brain, bone marrow, eyes and intestines. The function of the cell membrane is to regulate the contents of the cell, which makes effective functioning of the cell possible).
• Lecithin – taken in granular form. (Lecithin is a mixture of glycolipids, triglycerides, and phospholipids. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation).

All ingredients would be mixed thoroughly in a food blender. Bruce Lee suggested that for better results (i.e. for gaining more muscle mass quicker) milk and cream can be added too.

Please bear in mind that the supplements Bruce Lee took were popular when he was researching bodybuilding during the 1960’s and early 1970’s, these supplements may now be superseded by new ones producing better results. Also bear in mind that all supplements may have side effects if taken to excess. It is best to check with your doctor/GP before starting a bodybuilding diet.

Bruce Lee Diet Rule 6: Take Dietary Supplements

Bruce Lee also took many mineral and vitamin supplements. Today there is a much greater variety of supplements on offer than there were when Bruce Lee was training. Knowledge about how different supplements interact and benefit us has advanced a great deal since the 1960’s, as a result there may be better and more efficient supplements available than the ones listed below. However, here are some of the supplements Bruce Lee is known to have taken:

• Vitamin C
• Lecithing granules
• Bee Pollen
• Vitamin E
• Rose hips (liquid form)
• Wheat germ oil
• Natural protein tablets (chocolate flavour)
• Acerola – C
• B-Folia

Bruce Lee Diet Rule 7: Increase Carbohydrates by Juicing and Blending

Bruce Lee knew that carbohydrates are essential for people with very high activity levels. It was for this that he regularly consumed fresh fruit and vegetable smoothies. Fruit and vegetables provide the richest source of carbohydrates, so Bruce Lee would often make juices/smoothies comprising of carrots, celery, apples, bananas and some parsley.

Usually carrots would make up one half of the contents of the drink, the remaining being split between the other fruits and vegetables. He also sometimes used green leafy vegetables, again with a large proportion of carrot juice to help offset the bitterness of the green leafy vegetables. Bruce Lee was ahead of his time hear, as these are the basic rules applied in our article that details several ways to lose belly fat.

Juicing fresh fruit and vegetables is a great way to consume high quality carbohydrates. Juicing allows the body to assimilate many nutrients more easily. The enzymes in the juiced vegetables are also organic catalysts that increase the rate at which food is broken down and absorbed.

Many enzymes are destroyed when vegetables are cooked, especially if boiled, therefore consuming raw fruit and vegetables is best. Some nutritionists suggest that for better health and more energy, approximately half of the carbohydrates consumed should come from raw fruit and vegetables.

Bruce Lee Diet Rule 8: Eat Honey and Ginseng

Bruce Lee often drank a Royal jelly and ginseng drink to give him a quick boost. These drinks are very small, and provide a very quick release of energy. Royal jelly contains B-complex vitamins, including a high concentration of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), acetylcholine, hormones, and eighteen amino acids. It also contains trace of many minerals, trace amounts of vitamin C, some enzymes, as well as antibacterial and antibiotic components. Contrary to claims by many of those promoting its use, vitamins A, D, and E are completely absent from royal jelly.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Ginseng promotes Yang energy, improves circulation, increases blood supply, revitalizes and aids recovery from weakness after illness, and stimulates the body.

Bruce Lee Diet: Sample Meals

Obviously Bruce Lee’s diet would have varied greatly during the 1960’s and early 1970’s as his training methods evolved, but here is what is possibly one of his typical days meals:

Breakfast

• Food: A bowl of muesli cereal, comprised of whole grains, nuts, and dried fruits, plus 2% milk (semi skimmed).
• Beverage: Orange Juice and/or tea.

Snack

• Juice or Protein Drink: Protein powder, non-instant powdered milk made with water or juice, eggs, wheat germ, bananas, peanut butter. Brewer’s yeast was frequently added.

Lunch

• Food: Meat, vegetables, and rice.
• Beverage: Tea.

Snack

• Juice or Protein Drink: see ingredients for morning-snack protein drink.

Dinner

• Food: Spaghetti and salad, or another meal of rice, vegetables, and meat, chicken, or seafood.
• Beverage: One glass of 2% milk and/or tea.

This is the original Bruce Lee Diet

ruce Lee’s body depended more on what he didn’t have (body fat) and less on what he did (muscles). According to his wife Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce started to take his diet and nutrition seriously after he moved to the United States. Bruce Lee developed an interest in healthy Chinese food, protein shake juicing and vitamin supplements nutrition. Bruce Lee refused to fuel his body with junk food.

Bruce Lee preferred Chinese or other Asian dishes due to the variety of asian cuisines. Bruce Lee’s favorite Chinese food dish was beef in oyster sauce. He also ate shrimp or chicken with vegetables and tofu. For Bruce Lee, the larger amounts of rice, noodles and vegetables often used in Chinese food are filled with more high-energy carbohydrates than western food portions that favor more fat and protein. Although his diet mainly consisted of Chinese food, he was also fond of steak and, for a time, ate liver once a week. Bruce even went to McDonalds every now and then.
 Bruce Lee was not a vegetarian or vegan. According to the classic Bruce Lee training book “The Art of Expressing The Human Body”, Bruce Lee ate steak, liver, shrimp, chicken and beef. It is rumored that Bruce Lee ate a vegetarian diet for spiritual reasons during short periods of time, but he definitely ate meat.

Although Bruce Lee ate meat, he preferred vegetable-heavy Chinese food dishes. Bruce hated dairy and couldn’t understand why Western people ate cheese. He also used lots of vegetables in his Bruce Lee protein shake drinks. If you’re a vegetarian or vegan trying to follow the Bruce Lee diet, there are many non-meat protein substitutes you can eat, like green peas, beans, peanut butter and edamame, for a modified Bruce Lee vegetarian diet.

Bruce Lee would normally consume four or five smaller meals a day instead of 3 large meals. He would also eat fruit throughout the day to boost his metabolism. For extra energy in between meals, Bruce had his wife prepare congee, made by boiling rice to the point of soup-like consistency, mixed with organ meats like heart, kidney, brain or liver. Today’s bodybuilders have similar eating habits, eating approximately every four hours to ensure the body has a good supply of nutrients to help build and repair muscle tissue. Eating more often than that is not good and can put too much pressure on the digestive system, leading to indigestion.

Bruce Lee did not like dairy, so he used non-instant powered milk in his cereal and Bruce Lee protein shake. The non-instant variety of powdered milk supposedly has a higher concentration of calcium than other forms of powdered milk. Bruce knew he had to consume some form of dairy, regardless of his taste for it, due to its muscle-building qualities.

Bruce Lee avoided refined flour and baked goods, like cake or biscuits, describing carbohydrates as providing “empty calories” that did nothing for the body in a Bruce Lee diet.

Bruce Lee initially drank one or two protein shakes or smoothies a day, but stopped around 1970 to focus on developing strength without bulk. When Bruce Lee did drink protein shake smoothies, he usually used wheat germ (or wheat germ oil), peanut butter, banana, eggs (sometimes with shell), brewers yeast (for Vitamin B and releasing energy from carbs), Inositol and Lecithin supplements. Because Bruce Lee hated dairy, he used non-instant powdered milk (which supposedly has a higher concentration of calcium than other forms of powdered milk) in his Bruce Lee Protein Shake Smoothie Drinks instead of whole milk.
His wife Linda recalls that he “drank his own juice concoctions made from vegetables and fruits, apples, celery, carrots and so on, prepared in an electric blender.” Bruce especially loved carrots, using them in half his drink to offset the bitterness of the parsley and leafy vegetables. The remainder of the shake was split between other healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetables.

Bruce Lee believed juicing allowed one’s body to assimilate nutrients more easily. The enzymes in juiced vegetables act as organic catalysts that increase both metabolism and nutrient absorption. Bruce Lee knew that most vegetable enzymes are destroyed when cooked, especially in boiling, so he would consume raw veggies however he could.
Bruce Lee also used ginseng and royal jelly. They contain Vitamins A, C, D, E, minerals, acetylcholine, numerous amino acids and B-complex vitamins, including a high concentration of Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), all great nutrients for Bruce Lee juice. Ginseng is often used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve blood circulation, increase blood supply and allow for faster recovery times after physical exhaustion.
All ingredients in Bruce Lee’s drinks, smoothies and shakes would be mixed thoroughly in a blender.

Bruce was known to use the following Bruce Lee vitamins and supplements:
Magnesium
Inositol
Lecithin
Vitamin C
Bee pollen
Vitamin E
Rosehips
Wheat germ oil
Natural Protein Tablets
Acerola-C
B-Folia
caution-these are supplements are used by bodybuilders,martial artists,etc.please don't use them without consulting a dietician or a fitness expert.

Bruce Lee workout

Intensity
Even in the 1950s Lee was developing training methods that were comparable to modern methods. His programme would continuously evolve as he looked around for new techniques but throughout it all he stuck to his philosophy of training as hard as you fight. Lee would through punches at the bag as if it was his worst enemy, always with full intensity and stressing the importance of never letting your guard down, even in training. To remain light on his feet at all times he would continuously side-step and feint, never throwing a punch from a static position. Punching against the ‘wooden man’ was a way to build strength in the hands as well as overcome psychological hindrance to punch intensity.
Weights
Lee was a latecomer to the benefits of weight training but once he discovered it he became a true convert. The general take among martial arts trainers at the time was that too much weight training could make you too big and slow you down, but Lee worked weight training into a holistic programme. Initially he started with a repeated reverse curl to build up the strength in his forearm but moved on to an alternating set of weight exercises. A typical day’s lifting would include: Clean and press – 4 sets of 6 reps Squat – 4 sets of 6 reps Good morning – 4 sets of 6 reps Bench press – 4 sets of 5 reps Curls – 4 sets of 6 reps.
Cardio
For Lee, running was a form of meditation, time spent alone away from his hectic schedule. We wouldn’t over do it though and would run 6km three days a week first thing in the morning. He would vary the pace, running at a medium speed, then sprinting for 100 metres and back to medium speed. He would stop regularly and shuffle his feet quickly. When he wasn’t running Lee would skip for thirty minutes, he believed it would keep him light on his feet and build muscle tone and strength. He was also a fan of the cycling machine and after skipping would do 40 minutes cycling at medium speed.
Core
Just look at Bruce Lee’s physique and you can see that he spent a lot of time working on his core strength. An exhibition move was to lie on the ground and have someone drop an exercise ball from a height on his abdomen. Being able to take sustained blows to the midsection was important to Lee. A typical midsection work out might look like this: Side bends – 5 sets, Leg raises – 5 sets, Sit ups – 5 sets.
Nutrition
Lee has very clued into the eating properly many everyday foodstuffs were on his banned list including coffee, drinking tea instead. He was a devotee of Chinese food and was a big meat eater, favoring beef and liver. He resisted Western cooking as he claimed it contained too many ‘empty calories’. Refined flour was avoided and he ate plenty of carbs but favored those derived from rice. Lee avoided dairy foods and only consumed them as part of his protein drinks. Protein and whey powder drinks helped him gain 30 kg of muscle. Typical of the Chinese way of eating he would eat more meals with smaller portions. Vitamin supplements were a big part of his diet and he would juice fruit and vegetable broth for carbs and vitamins.
Commitment
Lee was dedicated to his art and everything he did was to support it. When he was driving he used the wheel to strengthen his grip and knuckles. If he was out walking and came to a hill he would always sprint up it, even when he was on location when exercise seemed almost impossible he would find a way. Lee worked out for hours every day, it was fundamental to his livelihood, but his approach was more than physical, his philosophy and the way he lived supported and were supported by his physical training. For Lee, internal training was just as important as external.
