I really can’t get over pesto! On the contrary, my eternal love towards this classic Italian pasta sauce has gone a notch up when I made this vegan pesto fusilli with zucchini and asparagus using my homemade avocado basil pesto!

This is not a cheat meal recipe!

I do not believe in cheat days! With my experience of 34 kgs/75 pounds of weight loss, I truly believe that real success lies in everyday habits!

A single uncontrolled cheat day, even once in a month, can ruin your weeks of effort and hard work within minutes! But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy good food!

You definitely can! And you must! Simply because mindful eating is a lifelong habit and not a sprint!

You can enjoy good food by becoming smart about it! By being smart I simply mean controlling certain parameters of your meals.

Like being conscious of the portion you are consuming; or having it at the right time and not as a random meal.

For example, a high carb dish like this pesto fusilli is best suited for a fulfilling lunch or even weekend brunch in a moderate portion no matter how tasty it is!

Then you would have enough time to digest the food during the course of the day and carb will give you a good amount of energy to carry out your planned chores. Win-win!
