"One time a person told me to own up to my diet.  I think about that every time someone asks me what I'm doing when I eat a load of bananas in front of them.  Good luck!"

"Carbs make you gain water... And fruit is made mostly of water.  So, the appearance of a big belly can be deceiving on a high carb diet.  I know, cause my stomach is big by the end of the day, but once I wake up and have a good bowel movement and…"
