More quotes by Daphne Oz
Ultimately, it's how you approach things in life that puts a smile on your face.
Daphne Oz
Make sure you eat whole foods that are good for your entire body. This doesn't mean that you can't enjoy your food or make room for plenty of indulgences. But your conscious goal has to be to eat for long term health and what you do most of the time is what really counts.
Daphne Oz
Food is medicine! We have forgotten that!
Daphne Oz
Don't make a different meal for every person, but make buildable meals. And, I do this with my kids, try to expand their palates gently.
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.
Daphne Oz
Standards are what you hold for yourself, too. If I don't hold those standards with friends, colleagues, and lovers, I can't hold them to their relationships.
Daphne Oz
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.

More than anything, having adventures with my siblings and spending time with my family and my husband make me happy.
Daphne Oz
My dad, who is a heart surgeon, works with many adult patients who did not take good care of their bodies in their formative years. He is able to teach them how to break old eating and exercise habits and reshape their bodies, but not without a great deal of resistance.

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.
Daphne Oz
If you live your life all out today, not only is it fun, but you are preventing a midlife crisis.
Daphne Oz
Exercise is important, but exercise in a gym is not important. Go and take a walk outside. Skip the umpteenth coffee date and go for a hike instead. Take the stairs. Walk your errands.
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 inspired by working moms. Mothers who somehow balance the demands of their many lives - professional, familial, personal, and interior - and still manage to make time to have fun and invest in themselves! This is a huge challenge that I look forward to taking on.
Daphne Oz
I tried every diet under the sun and none of them worked but, more importantly, they were robbing me of my love of food.
Daphne Oz
This moment is precious and full of great potential: all we have to do is figure out the little changes that will make a huge impact on how wonderful life can be in this moment.
Daphne Oz
I am proactive and looking to change my own behavior rather than others' - which is generally much more successful!
Daphne Oz
The only reason I write at all is because I am going through, and growing through, something in my life I want to share with others through my personal experiences.
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.
Daphne Oz
A 'diet' is simply an individual's eating regimen: it doesn't have to mean the restrictive plan we've come to associate this word with.
