Part of that is getting educated about nutrition. :-)
And that healthy food tastes good!

Whenever my co-workers see me eating a big pile of greens with my lunch,
they comment on how healthy it looks. <g> I have developed a true liking
for leafy greens and the things you can do with them.

Did you know that a nice handful of baby spinach leaves and other
greens, including lettuce, dropped into a bowl of tomato soup and wilted
well is utterly delicious?

And low cal as well as being satisfying. Add shredded protein source of
your choice to make it even more so.
