A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Dieting is like war. If a battalion of soldiers goes into battle with a great plan, but once they get to the battlefield decide to deviate from the plan without good reason, then that plan is no longer effective. No plan works if it isn't followed.

IAN SMITH

Extreme Fat Smash Diet


A natural person can achieve right diet because his instinct is in proper working order. He is satisfied with simple food; it is nutritious, tastes good, and is useful daily medicine. Food and the human spirit are united.

I hate France. It's like the whole country's on a diet.

GORDON KORMAN

One False Note


It's never been true, not anywhere at any time, that the value of a soul, of a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale. We are unrepeatable beings of light and space and water who need these physical vehicles to get around. When we start defining ourselves by that which can be measured or weighed, something deep within us rebels.

The promise of a diet is not only that you will have a different body; it is that in having a different body, you will have a different life. If you hate yourself enough, you will love yourself. If you torture yourself enough, you will become a peaceful, relaxed human being.

Dieting is long-haul. Many rapid weight loss programs actually only squeeze the water out of you. Just like a wet sponge. But a good dieter maintains his or her grip on that sponge, not letting it soak up water again.

OWEN JONES

Aspects of Dieting


Food is fuel, not therapy.

ANONYMOUS


A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.

NAOMI WOLF

I don't diet. I just don't eat as much as I'd like to.
