The whole idea of juicing is good if you are trying to diet and use it in limited basis. I use juice drinks only once a week. I use emulsified drinks because in emulsification you are keeping everything. You are keeping the pulp, you are keeping the skin with all of the phytonutrients.

Every year when I put away my winter clothes and get out my summer clothes, they fit. And I haven’t been on a diet since the Reagan administration.
I don’t subscribe to that no-carb thing. I’m so sick of the Atkins diet and all that. First of all, if you’re not eating carbs, all you do is think about them. It’s one of those things that you take out, and initially, you lose weight, but you are miserable.

I don’t eat huge amounts, I’m just very lazy.

I try to eat healthy for the most part. When I cut weight, I cut pretty much everything out. I don’t have protein when I cut weight other than what I might get from something like chicken breast.

I think sleep is probably the neglected stepsister in the health conversation today. I think we’ve done a good job regarding physical activity and diet, but sleep has remained out there in the cold, and that’s surprising to me.

I would have never wanted to write another management book. There are so many of them, and everybody says the same thing about them, and they are all the same – they give the exact same advice.

I’ve seen so many people – loved ones and colleagues – who jump from one diet to the next, one exercise regimen to the next . I was trying to figure out what were some of the basic things that each of us can build into a lifestyle for good, instead of bouncing from one thing to the next.
If you think of exercise as a 60-minute commitment 3 times a week at the gym, you’re missing the point completely.

I know it sounds cliche, but you have to find things you love to do.
