TEST POST! I was hacked a few months ago. My account was reopened last week. :)
YOUR BODY DESERVES PREMIUM FUEL!
(the 80/20 rule)
This is such an important part of a healthy mindset as we STRIVE to get better, be better, feel better!!
I recently took this picture when getting gas for my SUV.
Question
Would you put anything other than gas or premium fuel in your car?
Answer: Of course not.
My nutrition mentor has always said:
FEED YOUR BODY NOT YOU!
Keep reading to end for a sample of a TRUE 80/20 day!
REMINDER: Healthy people do not have to eat perfectly—they do return to center quickly!! 🌿
When we continue to eat and drink things that do not fuel our body. It does not serve our health. We continue to ask WHY we don't feel well, are sick all the time, have excess body fat.
It is about WHAT we eat and drink. 🙌
I understand that food is fun, delicious and is always there tempting us BUT... if we have goals, if we have health issues, if we don't feel our best, if we aren't sleeping well...we must make our body as important as our vehicle. 🥰
We all have our times when we want to eat what we want.
At least try to use the 80/20% rule. Eat well most of the time.
Let me SHOW you what a real 80/20 day looks like!! I think that most people will be surprised!! Reminder; 20% can be measured different ways: by calories, by meals, or by food choices 🍽️📊🙂
Example of true 80/20 day
Breakfast (80%)
eggs
oats
berries
Lunch (80%)
grilled chicken salad
olive oil
fruit
Snack (80%)
yogurt + nuts
Dinner (20% meal partly flexible)
burger on bun
fries
side salad
Dessert (part of same 20%)
small cookie or ice cream
The downside of DAILY 80/20- If we consume a cheat food everyday, it's a setback because of the blood sugar spike, a quick toxin load from processed food, super high sodium from processed items.
EXAMPLE of WEEKLY 20%:
Out of 21 weekly meals:
about 4 meals can be flexible
That often feels more realistic than forcing every day to fit exactly.
The good part about the weekly version is Protein, fiber, minerals, and stable blood sugar remain strong through the week, we can make some gains without interruption and give us the foundation to handle metabolic flexibility!! 💪
20% does not mean junk for 20% of calories every day
It means room for:
social meals
cravings
convenience
enjoyment
without losing the larger healthy eating pattern!
