Lose Weight for The Last Time with Laura Conley

Why 80/20 Is BS


Listen Later

We're tackling a BIG myth that's been holding you back: the whole "80/20" thing when it comes to eating. You know, eat healthy 80% of the time, and go wild the other 20%. Sounds dreamy, right? Here's the kicker---it doesn't work. Not for lasting weight loss, anyway.


We've all been there, telling ourselves we're "mostly" healthy, but let's face it---80/20 often turns into 60/40 (if we're being honest). And that's not enough to move the needle, especially if you're in your 30s, 40s, or 50s. Why? Because it doesn't give you the momentum you need to see results. Losing weight isn't just about balance; it's about creating habits that work with your body instead of against it.


In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on why 80/20 doesn't deliver the goods and how shifting to something more realistic, like 95/5 or even 98/2, can totally transform your journey. Here's the secret: it's not deprivation---it's about resetting your taste buds and hormones so your body actually craves the good stuff (yes, seriously).


We'll chat about why blood sugar spikes and "hanger" are your worst enemies and how those Saturday night pizza binges might be sabotaging your progress. Plus, I'll give you a sneak peek at my Yummy Mummy Method---a no-calorie-counting, no-BS approach to losing weight for the LAST time. Because you deserve to feel energized, confident, and oh-so-happy in your own skin.


Let's ditch the 80/20 trap and create a plan that actually works, babe. Hit play and hear:

  • How the 80/20 rule sabotages weight loss
  • Why being honest about your habits is the first step to success
  • How a balanced approach like 95/5 creates lasting change
  • Specifically how to make "healthy" feel satisfying and natural
  • The two things to manage to help you create an easy, sustainable lifestyle
