1. Every step counts; every bite counts.

2. He who shops on an empty stomach goes home with an empty wallet and wakes up with tight pants.

3. I can tell you what, when, and how much to eat, but I can't be there when you visit with Ben and Jerry.

4. Nobody gets fat eating apples, oranges, or carrots.

5. There are 21 meals a week.  If 18 of them are healthy, you'll be healthy.

6. Eating the fruit is much better than drinking the juice.

7. Better food is fresher food and fresher food is on the perimeter of the market.

8. Show me a person with a magic pill, potion or powder, and I'll show you a person after a bunch of your dollars.

9. You are what you eat, not what you take.

10. A good diet without supplements is better than a bad diet with them.

11. A product that has everything doesn't have enough of anything to really do anything.

12. Sometimes you can't tell whether something's helping until you stop taking it, but if a doctor recommends you stop a product that works, I recommend a second opinion.
