Part of eating well is looking at what you eat now and making the adjustments required to make it a healthier thing. While this can initially sound like deprivation, it helps you to sustain a similar eating pattern but to enhance what nutritionally it offers you. It is about a paradigm change almost as much as anything else.

For instance, if you're used to getting a burger for lunch, moving to a tuna or chicken sandwich on granary bread could be a good idea. The idea remains the same – meat, pasta, seasoning – and in contrast, if it looks a little tasteless, there's a lot you can do with pepper, paprika or a variety of other light spices.
