Don't dig your grave with your knife and fork.
--English Proverb

I count calories but I gain and lose the same ten pounds as everyone else at this stage in the game. The truth is I like Oreos, I like fried appetizers that come with happy hour, and I like happy hour.

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
--Michael Pollan
