Body Smart Spicy Sausage and Lentil Soup

It might not be cold outside anymore (quite brutally opposite, actually), but soup is still a nice meal to dine on. I have never had lentils before this meal, and, I must admit, it really was not as bad as my brain was afraid it would be. Plus, a soup with spicy sausage in it makes for quite the deliciously hearty meal.

Body Smart Tomato Pulled Pork

Smother a nice cut of pork with some crushed tomatos and you'll never miss that sugar-loaded barbecue sauce commonly found in this recipe.

Body Smart Parmesan Chicken

Parmesan cheese smothered on chicken breats? Then, topped with mozzarella cheese? Come on, you can't deny how darn good that sounds.

Changing An Eating Habit

As far as diet goes, it is more than easy to fall back into utilizing bad habits and, consequently, eating poorly. But, I came across this article that dives into the dynamics of what needs to be done to change a bad eating habit into a good one. So, anytime I feel the need to stuff my face with unhealthy food, my plan is to consult the following flowchart:

From this chart, I realize that to combat bad habits you first have to commit to actually wanting to change that unhealthy habit. Then, to change that habit, the flowchart points out that it is more effective to break down the cause of why the habit is so satisfying in the first place. Having this mentality helps me to understand what urge needs to be dealt with in order for me to easily change the habit that ails me. As the flowchart mentions, it is much easier to change a habit if you have a plan. And, by following this chart, a plan is easier to come by.
