Chapter 420:
If the girl they met today encountered difficulties again, surely others would step in to help her.
With that thought, the heaviness in Sloane’s chest began to lift. Warmth and light filled the space where gloom had lingered.
Even the salad in her bowl seemed to transform. Suddenly, it tasted incredible.
“Vinson, this salad is so good!” Sloane remarked enthusiastically. “It’s so much better than I expected p>
Vinson raised an eyebrow. “What exactly did you expect it would be like p>
“Well… tasteless,” Sloane said, taking a bite of fish. She continued, “I tried my cousin’s low-calorie salad once. Oh, it was awful. I felt like I was grazing in a field like a cow! But yours? It’s bursting with flavor p>
“That’s probably because your cousin didn’t use any dressing,” Vinson explained. “A lot of people trying to diet just toss some vegetables together with a dash of soy sauce or nothing at all. Of course, it’s going to taste bad. But dieting isn’t that simple. Especially with diet meals, you need more than just vegetables. Protein from lean meats is essential for a balanced diet. And you can use seasonings like salt, pepper, or olive oil. When blended correctly, the flavors improve, and it still stays healthy p>
“Ah, I see. I didn’t know there was so much to it! I always thought dieting just meant eating vegetables and nothing else,” Sloane admitted.
“Meat is important,” Fernanda chimed in. “Protein keeps you feeling full, helps burn fat, and builds muscle. When done right, dieting doesn’t have to feel like torture. It can actually be enjoyable p>
Sloane nodded. “I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll make sure to tell my cousin everything you just said p>

Her cousin only trusted her own extreme methods, like eating nothing but apples for her meals. Sloane shuddered at the thought.

Sure, her cousin might drop weight, but at what cost? By following such plans, she would likely end up in the hospital before seeing any results.
Fernanda turned to Vinson with a raised eyebrow. “I was surprised to learn that this restaurant is your own venture p>
Vinson chuckled. “After working out, I usually get pretty hungry, and cooking at home takes too long. There weren’t any healthy food spots near the gym, so I decided to open one. Now, I come here after every workout to eat p>
Sloane listened to him quietly, genuinely impressed.
This was the city center, where even a tiny patch of land came with a hefty price tag. Starting a restaurant here had to cost a fortune. He clearly wasn’t short on cash.
When she finished her meal, along with a refreshing fruit and vegetable juice, Sloane leaned back and let out a satisfied burp.
For a moment, she reflected on the simple joy she felt. Life, she realized, could be quite fulfilling. It wasn’t just chips and spicy snacks that brought her happiness anymore. The treadmill and a bowl of salad had their own kind of magic.
