Notable Quote:
"You gotta’ want it more than anything else…more than relaxing, eating, sleep, time with friends/family. It doesn’t need to be this extreme forever, but when you’re getting started and for the first year or two you need to approach weight loss with a religious-type fervor. Nothing can get in the way." - Frederick Gandolfo, MD
