“We have two lives and the second begins when we realise we only have one”
Quotes by Dan Greef
“I think I've just had a lightbulb moment of understanding myself and realising that I was always blaming myself. You know, individual responsibility is very important. However, if the rules are set up against you, you don't have a chance to succeed. Then what chance do you have? I realised very quickly that I was following the rulebook which works against my body.”
“I remember clearly sitting on the sofa at home, watching the Sarah Hallberg video and it just was like, Whoa, paradigm shift.”
“You are somebody who is living with your body. And you have to find out how you work. And I think that's been a real discovery for me.”
“I thought okay, what's the harm in one meal because I want to eat something. So I had that meal. That was in October and by Christmas, I was still eating carbs. What's happened here?“
“So I've had a few resets over time.”
“I think identifying what is your trigger, or what trips you up is really important. None of us got the final answer. It's only what's right for us and how we work. Getting to know yourself is, I think, the key thing to following a lifestyle is to be healthier.”
“You would never say, ‘That fat cat is a lazy cat’. And that's why it's fat. If it just walked more and did more exercise, that cat would be healthier. We know for a fact that that cat is fat because the owner is feeding the wrong food. We just know that, we all know that.”
"I find it really odd, how we separate ourselves from the animal kingdom realising that every species on the planet has evolved to eat a certain way. They didn't choose it. It's just the way that evolution threw the dice."
"I think there's another element to this, and that's vested interest, there's a lot of money behind this."
"I think, actually knowing what your food is, is really important, isn't it?"
"Maybe one day we'll move away from sugar and realise how bad it is."
"This is the human way. You know, humans are sociable, collective, great working people."
