Episode 2905: The 80/20 rule offers a sustainable approach to nutrition, allowing 80% of your food intake to support your health goals while reserving 20% for indulgences. Lea Genders highlights how balance, not rigid restrictions, fosters long-term success and a healthier mindset. Rather than meticulously planning treats, she suggests letting life naturally present indulgences, making healthy eating feel more flexible and enjoyable.

Of course, some foods are better for your health than others, but a cake is good for a birthday party and kale is bad for dessert." "Plan to eat well all the time, and when life hands you an unforeseen obstacle, it won't be such a surprise." "Living by arbitrary rules without regard to your body's feedback is what gets us all in trouble."
