Memorable Quotes:

“There is no substance that can magically melt fat off of your body.”

“Losing the weight doesn’t necessarily mean you are losing fat; it just means the scale, the number on the scale is going down.”

“Nutrition literally dictates your weight loss journey: that is on Ozempic, that is off Ozempic, that is on any drug, off any drug, with any type of metabolic disorder or without a metabolic disorder, no matter what.”
