Why the 80/20 Rule is Stopping Your Weight Loss (and What to Do Instead)

  • Summary

  • The 80/20 rule is one of the most common weight loss strategies—but what if it's actually holding you back?

    In this episode, we’re diving into why the 80/20 diet approach may be sabotaging your weight loss goals and what you should do instead to achieve sustainable weight loss, fewer cravings, and lasting results.

    Many people follow the 80/20 rule for weight loss, believing that eating clean 80% of the time and indulging 20% is the key to balanced eating. But here’s the truth: those "small" indulgences add up, keeping you stuck in a cycle of cravings, inflammation, and stalled progress. If you’re struggling with fat loss, emotional eating, sugar cravings, or weight plateaus, this episode will show you a smarter approach to a healthy lifestyle that actually works.

    Discover how to break free from self-sabotage, diet mentality, and willpower battles, and learn how to fuel your body in a way that feels effortless. If you’re tired of yo-yo dieting and want a simple, effective fat loss strategy, this episode is for you!
