You know how I feel about the "all...I agree, Zelda. You know how I feel about the "all or nothing" mentality that so many people have about nutrition and exercise.<BR/><BR/>I think one reason that many people fail to lose fat is that they go on "diets" and try to eat perfectly. Then, when they eat something that's not the best for them, they figure they've blown it so why not eat the entire package.<BR/><BR/>Fat loss / weight management has to be a lifestyle and 85/15 is far more doable than 100%.Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794781325419884654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220931134068746848.post-75293220600397783852008-08-05T20:40:00.000-04:002008-08-05T20:40:00.000-04:00I like the "if you can’t catch it or pick it, don’...I like the "if you can’t catch it or pick it, don’t eat it" rule. Of course, I couldn't stick to it, but it's easy to remember and to understand. I also like Dr. Peter Gott's "no sugar, no flour" dietary guideline, for the same reason. However, I can't stick to it either. But wait! Dr. Reynolds saves the day with the best rule of all: "I have an 85/15 rule. If you eat like I just showed you 85% of the time, you can eat what you like the other 15%." Now there's a rule I can at least come close to following.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Mickey!Madam Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136166772469538966noreply@blogger.com
