- The 80 / 20 Concept

Have you tried the 80/20 concept? It simply means that if you can strive to eat better and wisely 80% of the time, then you are consistently eating well. That consistency is how you will continue to build on developing normal eating habits for yourself as well as those you prepare meals for. The 20% of the time you don't eat well will not outweigh the 80% of the time that you do!

Just around the corner is the time when many of us will start to prepare and enjoy traditional snacks, desserts and meals to celebrate halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and then the New Year. As of today and right into 2008, all of these events offer perfect times to try applying the 80/20 concept. Of course, even with the 80/20 concept, it's always ideal to have nothing to eat after 7pm. And so it goes, walking on a regular basis along with always choosing food wisely will make a huge difference as time goes by. Take it day by day and continue to strive.
