I think that if a person wants to remain vegetarian, they're just going to have to go hungry.

My patient population has a low recidivism rate, but if they haven't made up their minds that it is permanent, then of course, they will fail.

Don't fix what's not broken.

I was gaining weight very rapidly and read about the idea of restricting carbohydrates as an alternative to going hungry. I had a big appetite, so that was the only thing I would even consider.

I think that if a person wants to remain vegetarian, they're just going to have to go hungry.

There are many, many people who have lost 100 pounds and kept it off.

It's so logical and so simple. Fat is the backup fuel system. The role it plays in the body is that when there's no carbohydrate around, fat will become the primary energy fuel. That's pretty well known.

A controlled carbohydrate lifestyle really prevents risk factors for heart disease.

A diet should be named after what you do eat, not what you don't eat.

Carbohydrate is the bad guy. You have to see that.

Everyone would be healthier if they didn't eat junk food.

Food compulsion isn't a character disorder; it's a chemical disorder.

Fruit is definitely on the maintenance diet. It's on the lifestyle diet.

How much obesity has to be created in a single decade for people to realize that diet has to be responsible for it?

I didn't realise I was going to be fighting the whole world.

I don't like when people try to put a spin and have a second agenda to make a person look bad.

I eat more vegetables than the average vegetarian.

I have had cardiomyopathy, which is a non-coronary condition and is in no way related to diet.

I think I can wipe out diabetes.

I want the public to know the truth, not every condition affecting the heart comes from a blockage.

I weighed 193 pounds and had three chins. I couldn't get up before 9 a.m. and never saw patients before 10. I decided to go on a diet.

If you believe that weight loss requires self-deprivation, I'm going to teach you otherwise.

Nobody had ever told me junk food was bad for me. Four years of medical school, and four years of internship and residency, and I never thought anything was wrong with eating sweet rolls and doughnuts, and potatoes, and bread, and sweets.

The people in power have created an obesity epidemic.

Well, I would never do a study because I'm a practicing physician. I mean, all I do is treat people.

You take the healthiest diet in the world, if you gave those people vitamins, they would be twice as healthy. So vitamins are valuable.

A diet should be named after what you do eat not what you dont eat.

If you believe that weight loss requires self deprivation Im going to teach you otherwise.

Spouses in healthy relationships cherish each other's space and are champions of each other's causes.

It often takes time for the Israeli government to get things done.

And it would be fair. Everyone will pay the same tax and it will eliminate tax cheaters and corporate shenanigans.

I'm like a recovering perfectionist. For me it's one day at a time.

What I learned is that in business you must make decisions based on facts, not react with your heart.

I believe for the first time in history entrepreneurship is now a viable career.

My kids are the reason I continue to strive for something better. They know - as kids who are Muslim, Somali, black Americans - that they've always been part of a struggle and that change isn't easy.

When I was 17, I got a call from Konnan. He told me that he was about to start up a new promotion called AAA. A lot of the popular wrestlers were going to come to work for him, and he wanted me to be one of them.

It's definitely nerve-racking to be the center of attention. I'm not the kind of an actor that just craves attention 24-7 - but it's part of the deal. You're the leader on the set.

The two contemporary writers whom I consider as role models are Janet Malcolm and Michael Lewis.

I am just a nice, clean-cut Mongolian boy.

I've got four kids to feed and a wife to provide for. It's a worry but a great responsibility as well and one I relish.

One of the great mind destroyers of college education is the belief that if its very complex its very profound.

Leadership in telecommunications is also essential, since we are now in the age of e-commerce.

Either one is promiscuous or in a relationship - it cannot be both at the same time.

Weight gain can happen at any point in time, and it is something that you are dealing with anyway, and it is OK. It is ridiculous to have this dictate your very being because I have always said that it is not the outside that defines who you are.

I can say I have become far more open about what I believe.

I certainly believe that improving our intelligence is of important national interest.

It seems not to have been written. It is the quintessence of life. It is the basic truth.

Certain foods no longer agree with me. If I eat French fries, I might feel sick to my stomach.

Since the new film has been out, I'm doing quite a lot but then in July I will start doing things at home. I have to fix the house up, see the grandchildren and such.
