Hi!
The first part of this article comes from me and the second is a receipt from my wife, Aly.
Since I have never posted something similar on Hive and online, I consider this article to be a test.
The objective: to help others!
What if you ate better for the next 30 days? How much would your weight decrease? How would you feel? Let’s give it a go…
Step #1: Clean the junk out.
Step one is simple: get rid of all the junk food that currently resides in your home, office, and car. Go through with a big garbage bag and toss anything that remotely resembles junk food. Junk food is stuff that is high in empty calories and low in nutritional value.
Step #2: Stock Up on healthy food.
Go to the store and stock up on delicious, nutritious foods that will take the place of junk food. Nuts, seeds, fruit, veggies, hard-boiled eggs, meatballs, and hearty salads or burrito bowls (like the recipe below) are great items to have on hand. You’ll eat less of these healthy snacks since these aren’t empty calories, but rather nutrient-filled calories that fill and satisfy.
Step #3: HALT!
When the next craving strikes you, tell yourself to HALT! This word is actually a handy acronym. Ask yourself, “Am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired?” If you’re hungry then reach for one of the healthy snacks from step two. If you’re angry, then explore the issue and seek resolution. If you are lonely, then reach out to a friend, instead of reaching for junk food. And if you are tired then take the time to grab a nap or get to bed early to catch up on sleep.
Step #4: Stick With It
The first day that you go without junk food will be the hardest day. The second day will be a bit easier. The third day will be even easier than the second…and so on.
The fact is that your taste buds adjust to the foods that you exist on. When your diet is filled with junk foods then that is what your taste buds will crave, but as you shift to a diet that is filled with fresh, nutritious foods then your taste buds will forget all about that old junk food. Stick with it, one day at a time, and you will break free from the grip of junk food addiction.
BONUS! Step #5…Join a Challenging Exercise Program
When you include exercise as a routine part of your day, your body shapes up quicker than ever and junk food cravings fade faster. I am the expert in body transformation, and I am here to get you from the body you currently have to the one that you KNOW you deserve.

When it comes to your diet, small and steady changes made in the long term will make the biggest impact on your fat loss goals. Take this bowl, for example. We’ve taken a traditional burrito bowl and have lightened it up by using quinoa instead of rice. Feel free to top this flavorful bowl with chicken or steak, if you’d prefer rather than tofu. Enjoy!
What you need
Servings: 4
1 (14oz) extra firm tofu, pressed and sliced
¼ cup BBQ sauce
2 cups red quinoa, cooked
1 (15oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and diced
½ cup canned corn
¼ cup goat cheese, crumbled
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a casserole pan with olive oil. Arrange the tofu slices in a single layer in the pan and bake for 30 minutes, flipping each slice halfway through. Cover the tofu with the BBQ sauce, turning each slice to coat each side. Bake for 15 more minutes. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine all of the remaining ingredients and top with slices of the BBQ tofu. Enjoy!

Let us know if you're going to try these steps!
We would both be happy to know how this worked out for you!
Bob and Aly!
insightful read with a yummy recipe 😃 thank you for sharing!

That recipe looks great, apart from the tofu. I might substitute grilled halloumi instead.
Halloumi has both milk powder and caseinates. The second one will lower in volume if you grill it. Which is perfect for digestion and inflammation.
Thanks for reading!
Oh wow! I had no idea about the health benefits, I just love the flavour.
