“It’s not a mystery, not the Holy Grail, and not some secret to which only a few people hold the key – regardless of what the gurus charging vast amounts per hour tell you. Dieting IS straight forward once you understand the principals and get to know your own body.”

“The endless ‘gurus’ who couldn’t understand why I wasn’t losing body fat with the level of training and diet I was on just pushed me into finding my own answers, which then proved to be the answers that thousands of others were looking for.”

“As a result of the success achieved by so many clients who used my approach, I was told to write a book, instead of breathing fire and brimstone about the ‘mystery’ being built up around diet and disempowering messages that only other people can do it for you.”

“If you don’t feel like changing and don’t have the motivation to do it for you then there’s not a single diet or pill that will work.”

“My belief and career has been emblazoned with the conviction that we are all individual and, as such, not one therapy, diet, strategy or lifestyle will fit all of us.”

“If getting is the key to your happiness your key will open few doors. If giving is the key to your happiness you will find few doors locked.”

“What people don't understand when you've already been a suicide and pulled through is that after the sadness comes fear: Where is my mind going with this? I don't want to die. I do not want to die. When you don't have so much control over your own thoughts, over the myriad voices in your head, you don't know where they could go.”
