Best way to ease away from bad foods?

I need to drop like 15 pounds. I'm not a pig but I like what I like which is mostly bad stuff. The good news is I can tolerate healthy things like fruit, yogurt, cereals with high fiber, etc., but I work hard and feel like I need a REAL breakfast, a REAL lunch, etc., not just fruits n veggies or a bland chicken breast. Any real eaters out there that made the transition to healthier choices without going crazy, and stuck with it? Also, any tips or recipes that would be satisfying to a serious foodie?

If you stick with whole foods instead of junk, you should do fine and feel satisfied. By junk i mean any fast food or processed foods, cook your own food as much as possible. Stick to whole grains whenever possible (wheat bread and pasta instead of white, etc). And most importantly, just keep it balanced.
You don't have to have "a bland chicken breast," have a chicken breast in a tomato sauce with wheat pasta and parmesan cheese. Have a roast beef sandwich on wheat with veggies like tomato and lettuce. It's not hard to eat healthy, just cut out most of the processed foods out there, be sensible about portions, and make sure to sneak in a lot of fruit and veggies. Which isn't hard. Want some ice cream? Throw some berries on there. Put fresh fruit on your cereal. Have veggie soup with your lunch.
I'm speaking from experience because a couple years ago i lost 40 lbs over the summer simply by switching to whole grains and eliminating processed foods. Trust me, i'm a serious foodie.
