Anyway You Can Quotes

“Others chip away at your resolve by repeatedly offering you high carb 'healthy snacks.”

“You must go through the process of removing temptations, cleaning out cupboards, and taking on the social challenges of becoming a ketone lover. You will be going against what society tells you. This journey is not for the faint of souls. You will be thumped over the head with the mantra that you must eat fruit. Someone will sabotage your momentum with the fear that all that fat will cause a heart attack.”

“That’s it. If you eat 1000 calories in a day and you want to lose weight, you must use more than the 1000 calories you consumed. Clear enough, right? Unfortunately, it’s wrong. Weight loss doesn’t work this way. For over two decades, I told many patients, “Eat less. Exercise more. That’s how you lose weight.” My advice was wrong. This equation is flat out wrong.”

“BABY BOOMERS: I am sorry. Your generation paid the highest price. At the age of 30, you were told to eat low-fat food or you’ll have a heart attack. You listened to this mantra throughout your life. Now you’re in your 60s or 70s. Your fear of fat is solidly wired into your brain. 'Do not eat fat or you will die.' Oh, SNAP! I am sorry. This was the wrong advice.”

“In the past decade, scientific research has finally concluded that there isn’t a connection between consumed saturated fat and heart disease. In 2012 the British Journal of Nutrition published the findings that death from heart disease was best predicted by the percentage of calories in your diet that came from fat. The shocking results were that the GREATER your calories from fat, the LESS likely you were to die of heart disease.”

“It is a fact that there is no scientific study published linking the cholesterol you eat or the foods high in saturated fats to heart disease. They are not linked.”

“High-sugar and high-carbohydrate food causes inflammation. Psychological stress, obesity and blood sugar also activate your platelets to clot by stirring up more inflammation. Small clumps of stuck together platelets, called blood clots, circulate throughout the blood vessels. These clots lodge into the tiniest of blood vessels and stop flow inside organs like the brain and heart.”

“Won’t this high fat diet clog my arteries and give me a heart attack?” The answer is NO. This is a nutritional myth that thankfully is starting to come to light. For years, we’ve known that high insulin levels were causing lots of troubles with cholesterol, heart disease, and brain disease. Fortunately, over the last several years, more and more experts have shown that saturated fats are not the culprit. Sticky, inflamed platelets are.”

“Proteins build up in a damaged brain. This damaged brain leads to Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The beginning of these problems don't start with your genetics; they start with inflammation.”

“Baby Boomers: please pay attention. You endured the most abuse from the medical establishment over the last 40 years.”

“Low-calorie diets provide the ideal chemistry to keep fat inside your fat cells. The longer you stick to your torture-based-diet, the greater the damage to your metabolic motor. Put simply, you’re caught in a race to the bottom!”

“Evolution has taught each of your cells that when food gets this scarce, they need to store calories away because there’s a famine coming.”
― Annette Bosworth, Anyway You Can: Doctor Bosworth Shares Her Mom's Cancer Journey

“A calorie-reduced diet would be more accurately called a torture diet. No matter its name, it triggers your chemistry to store fat. This low calorie setting takes your food and squirrels it away into cells designated to store energy. If you want a body chemistry that locks your energy efficiently into your fat cells, go on a reduced calorie diet. Every study regarding reduced calorie diets has proven this over and over again.”

“INTERMITTENT FASTING: NOT A LOW CALORIE DIET. Please, do not confuse my support of intermittent fasting with support for starving. Let me be clear: NO STARVING ALLOWED! Reduced calorie diets are a no-no. Intermittent Fasting (IF) knocks the socks off of a Low Calorie or Reduced Calorie diet. Indeed, I would say they are the OPPOSITE of each other. Intermittent fasting shifts your chemistry in the opposite direction of the low calorie diets.”

“The biggest threat to your changed behavior comes from your past habits. The behavior change sticks around for awhile, but when stress or boredom strikes, your old ways show up again. Before long, your new habit has all but disappeared.”

“What’s going on here? Lipophobia: the fear of fat. The media won this game. They successfully frightened us from enjoying fat. I correct this thinking by educating patients that we are solving a human biochemistry puzzle. Our body’s chemistry controls weight loss. The most important piece in the puzzle is insulin. Keep insulin down, and weight loss happens.”

“To empty your body’s fat storage cells, stop making insulin. How do you stop producing insulin? Stop eating carbohydrates.”

“Fruits have been sold to all of us as healthy and nourishing. The truth is the opposite. We’ve been sold a bill of goods. Fruits are filled with sugary carbohydrates.”

“Take a bowl of rice. A little over a cup of rice contains 15 teaspoons of sugar. That’s 60 grams of carbohydrates in it. Switch to a bowl of pasta, and you have 20 teaspoons of sugar or 80 grams of carbohydrates.”
― Annette Bosworth, Anyway You Can: Doctor Bosworth Shares Her Mom's Cancer Journey

“Eat a slice of bread and add about 20 grams of carbohydrates or 5 heaping teaspoons of sugar to your bloodstream. That means one of those spoons of sugar found in that slice of bread will circulate into the bloodstream as glucose, but evil insulin will whip the other four spoons of sugar into storage pockets throughout your body.”

“Carbohydrate or sugar addiction is as real as cocaine addiction. My patients coming off of heroin, marijuana, or alcohol experience sadness after they quit. Even if they really want to stop, they can’t help but miss the object of their addiction. The same thing happens if you eat carbs to feel better. You used carbohydrates to increase your dopamine, creating that feel-good release. You must learn a new way to achieve this feeling. Your well-being depends upon the continued production of dopamine.”

“Without sugar, you experience a dopamine 'withdrawal' state-you feel crabby, irritable, and even depressed.”
― Annette Bosworth, Anyway You Can: Doctor Bosworth Shares Her Mom's Cancer Journey

“Chemically, carbohydrate addiction involves the same repeating mess we see with other addictions. You get a burst of dopamine when you eat or drink a bunch of carbohydrates. This chemical surge rewards your behavior. The resulting dopamine burst feels good. It feels so good, you start craving it. You then ingest more and more sugar chasing that dopamine high. Before long your brain is addicted. You depend upon that 'hit”

“The enemy of ketones is insulin. When insulin is whipping those carbohydrates around, not one stinkin’ ketone circulates in your system. Insulin blocks that process until the sugars are low enough.”
