I don’t know if I know how to make an honest non–weight loss goal myself. When I say, “Eat more leafy greens! For health!” it’s an elaborate lie, even if there’s a grain of truth within. No matter how much research I do, no matter how many experts I interview, there’s a part of me, deep within, that believes that if I eat more leafy greens, my body will indicate its improved health by shedding weight.
