Dieting, yes, it has coaxed me into eatting healthier. No more of the fast food cheeseburgers that have a bah-zillion calories. ( which is fine because beef makes me feel not so good). Now I am looking more for chicken breast, or yogurt, or salads. Granted, getting food poisoning more than once last year did have sooommmething to do with that.
So far getting in the habit is not too terribly hard. I choose home cooked meals over going out, allowing me to make sure that the ingredients are healthy and cooked in a way that is satisfactory ( as opposed to slathered with grease and then deep fried and then slathered with more grease).
