The 80/20 Rule in Dieting

Imane Ghossoub
About this episode

In this discussion, we'll explore the 80/20 rule in dieting, a flexible approach that can make healthy eating more sustainable. We’ll start by defining the 80/20 rule, which encourages consuming nutritious foods 80% of the time while allowing for more indulgent choices 20% of the time.

We'll then look into practical ways to apply the 80/20 rule to our meals, helping to balance healthy eating with occasional treats.
