My recipes aren't geared towards women; my books are marketed towards women because women are the biggest market for weight loss, weight management and weight maintenance and for cooking.

Let's be clear, I'm a strong woman.

You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It's not fair to them.

Never eat while doing something else, because you won't get the satisfaction from your food and you'll be more likely to overeat.

Exercise is like an old friend: You may not be able to see that friend all the time, but you're not mad when you see them, you're happy, and you get right back into it.
