The habit that has worked for me by far is to eat food that is real.  Easy.

My plate should look like I live on a farm from 100 years ago. Easy.

My plate should also have about 80% plant foods and 20% protein (my first choice is fish then chicken or meat)

Easy again.

Now when I eat something that is overly processed I feel sick.

My kids got used to eating this way and always want there protein over shredded carrots, broccoli slaw or romaine lettuce.

They will  complain that something tastes too fake if they eat some snack food or cereal etc. other than one from trader joes.

*I do enjoy treats on occasion and have a small piece of dark chocolate.
