Quotes to ponder:

"Stop eating when you stop feeling hungry, which is NOT the same thing as when you feel full."

"The ideal healthy meal is 50% vegetables, 25% healthy proteins, and 25% whole grain carbs."

"It’s easy to think that you’re going to go from eating unhealthy and suddenly you’re going to start eating healthy again. But in reality, it’s hard to make such a dramatic change."
