If strict diets and food guilt have left you feeling overwhelmed, the 80/20 rule might be your new best friend.
🌟 The Basics:
The 80/20 rule is a flexible and sustainable approach to healthy eating. It means:
- 80% of the time, you eat nutrient-rich, whole foods: fruits, veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, healthy fats.
- 20% of the time, you enjoy your favorite treats: pizza, chocolate, cocktails, fries—whatever makes your soul happy.
It’s not a fad—it’s a mindset shift.
âś… Why It Works:
- No food guilt. You’re not “cheating”—you’re living.
- Consistency over perfection. One donut doesn’t ruin your week.
- Better long-term results. You’re more likely to stick with a plan that doesn’t feel restrictive.
đź§ Real-Life Example:
Let’s say you eat 3 meals a day = 21 meals a week.
- 17 meals are focused on clean eating. âś…
- 4 meals can include your favorite indulgences. 🍕🍷🍦
It’s all about balance, not punishment.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip:
Even in your 20%, enjoy treats mindfully. Savor them. No distractions, no guilt—just joy.
