More quotes by Daphne Oz
When I was young and growing up overweight, I believed the eaten was more powerful than the eater, meaning the food was more powerful than I was.

If you have expectations, you try to put your standards on someone else's behavior. The fact is you can't control anyone but yourself, so creating standards, as opposed to expectations, keeps the ball in your court.
Daphne Oz
Fun for me is to take what I learn and teach others in a way that is accessible and applicable in their own lives.
Daphne Oz
Food is medicine! We have forgotten that!
Daphne Oz
I love to look at my life and look at what I can do better, how I can contribute more and where I can push myself.
Daphne Oz
I am proactive and looking to change my own behavior rather than others' - which is generally much more successful!
Daphne Oz
I have two pairs of stretchy maternity leggings and jeans, which I will never give up, because once you experience an elastic band for a waist, you will never go back.
Daphne Oz
Ultimately, it's how you approach things in life that puts a smile on your face.
Daphne Oz
I get to help people create lives that make them happier and healthier than they were yesterday. I knock on wood that my family is healthy and happy and love each other.

Having been to culinary school, the single greatest asset I learned there was how to cut and chop properly. It's an investment of money that will save you hours of time down the road, and hopefully some cut fingers.
