The whole all or nothing approach to dieting isn’t new. It has been endorsed by diet after diet - that to see results you have to stick to the strict rules with no end in sight.
This approach often fails because it doesn’t create a sustainable, balanced lifestyle. And, it often creates a ‘yo-yo’ effect where you diet harder and cheat harder.
This is where the 80/20 rule comes into play. 80% of your diet should be primarily “whole food” based (lean proteins, vegetables, complex carbs, healthy fats). The other 20% can be ‘treat’ foods you enjoy in moderation. 😋
The key to dieting is to find something that works best for you and your lifestyle. Calories in vs calories out is still the #1 priority for weight loss.
