The 80/20 Rule
7. The 80/20 Rule
We guide our clients to find a sustainable balance between wellness and celebrating life without restrictions. The 80/20 rule is a crucial element for both success and enjoyment in achieving your health goals. It’s essential to recognize the difference between optimal health and pursuing the 'ideal weight' or 'get the perfect body,' or be ‘Instagram-worthy’. True wellness is about looking and feeling good inside and out, while also respecting and loving your body and life.
A diet that is overly restrictive 100% of the time can be dull, miserable, and unsustainable in the long run. This approach can lead to unhealthy eating behaviours, and feelings of shame or guilt over healthy and natural instincts to eat and enjoy food. We want you to enjoy life and delicious nourishing food! Our recommendations for organic, nutritious foods will help you achieve optimal health whilst sill allowing you to celebrate and indulge in your favourite dishes in a sustainable way.
The premise is simple: follow the guidelines 80% of the time, but make sure to enjoy life and celebrate with friends and family during the remaining 20%. The key is to savour these moments guilt-free, choosing the best quality foods you can find. Don’t settle for cheap, processed options filled with preservatives and chemicals. Instead, on those more indulgent days seek out a fantastic bakery for artisanal sourdough or a local shop for handmade pasta—make it count and truly enjoy it.
Sharing food around the table with loved ones is a tradition that spans every culture and should be a joyful experience for you as well.
