“The real reason to exercise is to change your body's chemistry, not to burn a lot of calories.”
Covert Bailey, The Ultimate Fit or Fat

“No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office.”
Covert Bailey
