For people who need their fried foods, replacing oil in the skillet with water can do the trick—it still cooks your food without adding unnecessary fats.
Years ago, when I was a teenager, I started introducing legumes, grains, and veggies into my diet. I went from being the pickiest eater—never touching those foods—to actually eating them regularly. Back then, and even until recently, I still ate a lot of processed and junk foods.

However, a week ago, I made a new switch: I’ve vowed to completely stop eating processed and packaged foods and focus only on natural, whole foods. It’s been a big change, and I keep reminding myself to stay away from junk food.
