Ep 38 - Healthy Eating the 80/20 Way: How to Enjoy the Fun Stuff and Still Stay on Track


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard of the 80/20 rule when it comes to healthy eating, but what does that actually look like in real life?

  • Is it a cheat day once a week?
  • A little chocolate every night?
  • Or just a vague sense that you’re doing “pretty good” most of the time?
  •  

    In this episode, I’ll show you how to apply the 80/20 rule in a way that feels realistic—so you can enjoy the fun stuff without losing progress or falling into the all-or-nothing trap.

     

    You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of what the 80/20 lifestyle actually means, plus a few simple visuals to help you see what this might look like.

     

    In this episode, we’ll talk about:

    • Why all-or-nothing thinking is sabotaging your long-term health goals
    • What it means to be a “ratio person” (and why that mindset leads to more consistency)
    • How to avoid slipping from 80/20 into 60/40 without realizing it
    • Two practical ways to apply the 80/20 rule using either calories or meals per week
    • How to enjoy the occasional indulgence without guilt—and without losing momentum
    • Why your ability to tolerate imperfection is one of the strongest predictors of success
    •  

      This episode will help you shift from perfectionism to progress—and give you a simple, flexible approach to healthy eating that you can stick with long term.

       

      🎧 Tune in to learn how to zoom out, consider your ratio, and move forward—without having to “start over” every Monday.
