Hey!

I know it took me a long time to post another post but now I’m back!

This time I don’t want to talk about one of my rule I want to talk about the 80-20 rule.

The 80-20 rule is a great rule.

That mean that 80% of the time you eat healthy and 20% of the time you eat whatever you want.

In other words one unhealthy meal a day or 73 unhealthy days a year (like vacation and birthday party).

Super easy to follow this rule and it’s suitable to all ages.

What’s my problem with this rule? Well, most of what you eat  is from the 20% part and this is my problem. You think you eat healthy but guess what? YOU DON’T!

What’s worry me the most is your breakfast; I’ll put money that your breakfast is unhealthy but you think it is, so you eat more unhealthy things during the day and you don’t understand why you not healthy or why you fat.

What goes into the 20% part?

Anything process!

Any flour - with gluten or sans gluten (you like my French?)

Any type of dairy – cow, goat, soy, almond, rice, quinoa or any other grain you can think of.

Any process meat – bacon, sausage, ham and any other sandwich meat.

Any process sugar – if it’s not RAW honey or REAL maple it’s BAD! Even if it’s raw cane sugar it’s still bad.

What most people have for breakfast? (If they smart enough to eat breakfast and not just drink coffee).

Pancakes, waffles, toast with peanut butter and jam, cereal, yogurt, bagel with cream cheese, eggs and bacon, sausage or ham and muffins.

Beside the eggs part everything else is super unhealthy!

What can you eat for breakfast?

 How about eggs, fruit, veggies, fish, chicken breast, oats (not instant!!!) and potatoes (in moderation)?

Healthy unprocessed food to fuel you for your day and give you essential vitamins and minerals you need to function

Eating healthy 80 of the time is great just make sure it truly healthy and again.

I eat process food too but as a treat.

My latte – treat

Granola with almond milk - treat

I’m trying to keep it to one treat a day; If I have my latte I won’t have granola.

They both treat. Not food, TREAT!

It might sound weird but give it a try.

You going to see result so fast that you be shocked!

LOVE

You’re going to love this rule! You’re going to jump and start dancing because rule #14 is why you NEED to eat junk food.

Junk food is bad for you. That’s why we called it junk food so why the hell would I tell you to eat it?

First of all, you’re going to do it anyway (I know I do) so you might as well know where, how much and why.

When you eat healthy it’s amazing but too much from anything is BAD!

Take spinach for example: The king of superfood. It’s soooo good for you! It has ridiculous amounts of everything that’s good for you!

Proteins, carbs, vitamins (A, B6, C, K, E), all the minerals you can think of, antioxidants and omega -3!

You can pretty much live on spinach; Pretty much, but not really.

Like I said before, spinach is good for you and one of the reason it’s so good is the minerals in it.

Have you ever seen a mineral? Pretty cool rock. Don’t get me wrong, but it’s still a freaking ROCK!!!

I’m not really sure how Popeye did not suffer from kidney stones but if you eat too much spinach you would suffer from them and something tells me you don’t want to pee a stone. Apparently it hurt.

Too much from a good thing is bad but it’s still better than too much junk so don’t run and O.D. on junk food; let me finish first.

Luckily for you it won’t be long this time because it’s pretty simple but somebody has to say it.

You NEED junk food for a few reasons:

1)      You can’t diet forever!

You can sure try but eventually you will break and then this scenario will happen:

You waited so long to eat that you go ballistic and empty the entire fridge and then you’re so disgusted with yourself and you feel so fat that you don’t see a reason to try to lose the weight so you eat MORE.

That’s not going to help you.

Give your body the break it needs and wants from your diet on your own terms so you can control the situation and not go ballistic.

2)      Life is too short to suffer!

I keep saying it and I will never stop saying it. If your body craves something once in a while let your body have it, just because it’s fun.

Healthy or not healthy, you NEED to enjoy life because it’s too short not to enjoy it!

3)      Don’t spoil your body too much!

Your body can and needs to work.

It’s good for your body to work hard and stay in shape and once in a while to remind itself it’s able to get rid of junk.

If you eat junk food like once a month your body gets rid of it so fast that eating pizza can make you lose weight.

Problems start when you eat it too often; but once in a while it GOOD you.

If 3 years have passed and you ate extremely healthy but then you break and eat junk food you might get super sick because your body can’t deal with that, but if you keep your body in a shape to get rid of junk your body doesn’t get overwhelmed with the junk and it’s capable of enjoying it and then get rid of it.

Like it should!

Your body can take a lot. Don’t abuse it but don’t overprotect it.

This is how I EAT THE CAKE AND NOT GET FAT, I eat junk food.

And no, cake is not junk:. it’s a cake J.
