مینا و سامان در یک رستوران سنتی نشسته‌اند و وسطِ این همه غذای وسوسه‌کننده دنبال یک شام سبک و سالم می‌گردند. آن‌ها با حذف فسنجون و قورمه‌سبزی، به خاطر چربی پنهان و هضم سنگین، کم‌کم به انتخابی هوشمندانه می‌رسند: جوجه‌کبابِ سینه بدون کره، سبزی‌خوردن تازه، سالاد شیرازی با آب‌غوره و دوغِ پونه‌دار. 
!این گفت‌وگو یک راهنمای ساده برای انتخاب سالم‌تر غذاست، حتی وقتی منو پر از وسوسه باشد.

As they eliminate heavy dishes like Fesenjan and Ghormeh Sabzi, they break down hidden fats, lost nutrients, and digestion problems. Their final smart choice? Grilled chicken breast without butter, fresh herbs, Shirazi salad with verjuice, and doogh with mint. A simple, thoughtful guide to choosing smarter meals — even in a restaurant full of temptations.
