If there’s one thing you change about your eating behaviors, consider consistency as being at the top of that list.  The problem with consistency is boredom.  Enter sauces: the savior of boring meals.  Caution:  Sauces have calories.  Did I really need to write this? Anyway, my suggestion is substitute in the leanest meats you can find and add in fat-rich sauces.  Why?  Because peanut sauce, in my honest opinion, tastes better than beef or chicken fat.

The approach is pretty straightforward.  See below:

How many times have you seen this:

Applause to the creator of these meals because they are consistent.  I wager than whoever is eating this will be bored by meal 4.  I couldn’t tell a client (if I had any) with a straight face that this should be your approach for every lunch and/or dinner.  You could combat this by creating 2 or 3 different sauces to make each dish a little different.

Consistency of behaviors is the probably the strongest predictor of success.  So, why don’t you give yourself the best chance to succeed?

All the best in 2018!
