Quotes to ponder:
"It is not only the amount of food, but also the quality of the foods you eat that matters."
"Weight training trumps cardio for fat loss. Intensity trumps duration for fat loss."
"The whole concept of 'doing penance' because of bad food choices puts us in a negative frame of mind, where we use guilt and remorse as motivation."
