Every single diet I ever fell off of was because of potatoes and gravy of some sort.

I eat next to nothing.

It’s simple, if it jiggles, it’s fat.

I want to lose weight because I want to be focused, meaning healthy.

Start your diet during a period of optimism and happiness.

I’m not looking to freak people out – eating rodents or bugs. I don’t do that anymore.

I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.

Every chef I know, their cholesterol is through the roof. And mine’s not so great.

What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn’t much better than tedious disease.

French fries kill more people than guns and sharks, yet nobody’s afraid of French fries.

I eat steak primarily. That’s pretty much what my diet consists of. Sometimes I supplement that with other steaks.

When I’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we’re not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.

I never – you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.

I’ve done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.

Oh yes, there’s lots of great food in America. But the fast food is about as destructive and evil as it gets. It celebrates a mentality of sloth, convenience, and a cheerful embrace of food we know is hurting us.

I eat fish, three times a week meat, and if not yogurt, something like this and it rarely continues.

For different roles, my condition and training and diet does alter. Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do.

I won’t eat anything green.

I never eat salad. I make sure I don’t put a lot of junk into my system, but I hate vegetables!

No one ever told me I should eat egg whites or drink a gallon of water each day.

Acorns were good until bread was found.

The dieting wars have got to stop.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.

I do the same exercises I did 50 years ago and they still work. I eat the same food I ate 50 years ago and it still works.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.

People have been fed this diet of pabulum, rights, and impulsive freedom. There’s just an absolute starvation for the other side of the story.

I have had some cosmetic surgery, especially after I lost weight and stuff, and I’ve had my breasts lifted – but not injected. That would scare me to death, anyway.

Bread without flesh is a good diet, as on many botanical excursions I have proved. Tea also may easily be ignored. Just bread and water and delightful toil is all I need – not unreasonably much, yet one ought to be trained and tempered to enjoy life in these brave wilds in full independence of any particular kind of nourishment.

There is one thing I have never taught my body how to do and that is to figure out at 6 A.M. what it wants to eat at 6 P.M.

When I was 25 and I was told to eat 6 pieces of potato every day, someday it would be 8, someday it would be 10. Not that it’s going to make a big difference. But now when I am told by my nutritionist that you get to eat 6 pieces a day, it’s 6. Done!

When I inspire myself, I want to spread the word because its important to be healthy. I don’t think they’re teaching us enough about that. I think we should eat better and exercise. Look who’s saying that – a guy who was 300 pounds – but I’m doing a lot better than I used to. I’m letting people know its important because it makes you feel better.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Nutrition is so important. It can’t be stressed enough.

I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.

I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.

Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.

I was always a junk food person, still am.

In two decades I’ve lost a total of 789 pounds. I should be hanging from a charm bracelet.

I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage.
