The 80/20 Rule: Unlock the Secret to a Balanced Healthy Lifestyle

[@rpinedan]

I love how you kindly explain how to not to restrict yourself from eating what you like but as you mentioned in a prior video: let's honor the "feeling of I've had enough" by having a balanced diet and leaving a small space for sweets.

[@katieyungen1647]

Really appreciate your balanced, realistic, sustainable approach!

[@andrianinavictor6540]

When I started cooking for myself for the first time, I downloaded a calorie counting app that also told me how much calorie I was supposed to eat every day based on my height and weight. I was basically only eating the "healthy" side that she is talking about, eating 3 meals a day, sometimes with snacks, and yet I was still BELOW my daily goals!! It was great experience, honestly. I would recommend it to anyone to try for just a week/month or so bc it was a great learning experience. I personally stopped after a couple weeks bc I knew what I wanted to know about my diet from then on. You totally DON'T need to do this for a long time to get valuable takeaways from it!

[@nyawilson7393]

I love how well you articulate this topic on your channel ❤

[@ariana-yt210]

Tysm! You are an angel! You don't know how much U help ppl with ED's :'D

[@Budha3773]

Love the channel and all your shorts. Keep up the good work! I 100% agree with the “80/20” rule. I think there’s a more comprehensive rule that can really make weight loss/ body recomposition more accessible. I call it a progressive diet. Basically whatever you eat in a week track that and slowly increase the portion of your calories that come from whole foods. If you’re doing “50/50” then you will make progress next week by doing “55/45” and work your way up to “80/20” and if your goals are still not reached after that you can always keep going! Doing this in addition to adding cardio has helped me to look like a bodybuilder and feel great doing it! Btw add some protein to that stack of whole foods!!!!

[@pinklilyz420]

This is where a balance and moderation come in. You can have fun foods but think of it as a treat and portion it.

[@reneemurdock2174]

Excellent advice! Thx. ❤

[@HealthyEmmie]

You are so welcome!

[@x._weyzzx]

Thank you for letting me know! I want to start a healthier routine and also work on mental health. Tyson for the information. Good rule ❤️

[@romangodfrey2228]

I live by the 80/20 rule 🙏🏼 the side by side comparison is mind blowing though. Wonderful visuals, Em!

[@mygrandma3041]

This is so helpful! I am not afraid or feeling guilty about food anymore. I can still eat what I want with balance.

I appreciate that❤

[@FatinNaser-om9fi]

Thank you for this ✅

[@rosacavalcante8551]

I hate the idea of "real whole natural foods". And the assertion that they are all less calorie dense is not true. Nuts are real, whole and natural and they're VERY calorie dense.

[@Anything-thingany]

You are the best 😊👍👍

[@HealthyEmmie]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Team__Bacon]

that scared me when you said that small amount of chocolate was 2,000 calories 😭

[@Nosila685]

This is a very intelligent and nice approch . I would just ad a bit of whole grain products. Not only veggies and fruits as whole foods

Tips on fat loss: help with increasing steps reaching 10k steps a day, enough sleep, no drinking calories, priority meals and meal plans

[@googleuser2480]

I use to have an issue with never ending hunger and BED which I atill struggle with. I use to live on low calorie foods to stay within my caloric range. Now that I am eating real food, such aswhole grain bread thats 120 calories vs white bread with 35 calories and 16 grams of fiber... I don't feel like I'm starving all the time. I increased my calories significantly by switching to real food full of nutrients and find that my appetite is a lot more stable. I thought I cracked the code on weight loss and maintenance along time ago but I am still learning.

[@svetoslavradulov4542]

That food is lightwork babyyyyyy

[@strawberryvalentine1]

I know you're normal a weight loss channel, but I'd love for you to talk about how to gain weight healthily for a friend of mine who can't keep weight on.

[@mollyseago5654]

Do you think you could talk about cereals and such? Breakfast advice especially if your mornings are short?

[@mollyseago5654]

Sorry internally I thought this but just didn’t execute: I love what you do and am so grateful for all your advice and content style, framing, everything, thank you so much!!

[@sarahsalari55]

Love your short videos❤

[@Novarcharesk]

‘Natural’ isn’t a meaningful argument. Nothing is superior SIMPLY because it’s natural.

[@jammyk4606]

Money 🥲🥲🥲 that much food per day...gonna cost a lot in a month...

[@restoration87]

I’ve been following someone from Paris , they don’t count calories but they don’t snack either , 3 meals a day and smaller portions ! Sidenote, when I was watching my protein and all my macros and I was eating nutrient dense, I could barely manage getting to 1100 cal because the food was so nutrient dense and I was so full so I just don’t believe our government’s food pyramid, calorie needs at all!!

[@ELMAGlamcookingbrasil]

You could switch the oil.

[@navmittal783]

Blind people thinking the 80% what chocolate

[@Mistinabottle]

I do 50/50 and still lose weight

[@axalius572]

I'd rather eat tiny portions of food than stuff myself with vegetables/eat 80% foods that taste and make me feel bad.

[@Bri-p9i]

Just so you know everything is processed even fruits and there is nothing wrong with that but it is what you eat

[@Alexa-k5t]

Let’s do 20% 80%

Can u share salty recipes

[@LuandPenny]

I am hyper active and growing so I burn around 2500 calories a day so I eat healthy and I have some more calorie dense foods!

[@ForaSmith-mz4gw]

Okay, but I need a price comparison.

[@IloveHimTCIT]

Yeah today I had a bagel, some Mac n cheese, an uncrustable, and some carrots and in all out of calories 🥲

[@jemimabo9983]

Can you help me with fasting please? I'm fasting for average of 20 hours for a year now, but when I eat, I still restrict. But on Sundays or every other day, I would eat bread/biscuits. I also cut rice.

[@sheejaaji-dw7kq]

Hey I'm not a professional so I could be wrong but fasting for that long for a year could cause more problems than solutions. Just eat lighter and Healthier meals don't fast all day you could hurt your own body take care

[@jemimabo9983]

@sheejaaji-dw7kq 🫶

[@oneair9462]

eat when you feel hungry, stop before bloated. consider eat mostly natural food with less deep fried food and more fiber and protein i think that the best I could suggest, anyway just listen to your body need

[@richardgosselin9548]

I'm no expert but I tried the intermittent fasting and couldn't stay with it. My best results come from 3 smaller meals 300-500 calories, a good dinner, and a small snack 2 hours before bed time.

[@sib5464]

Intermitted fasting is very healty but 20/4 is not good. Try max 16/8 or 14/10. And eat More! Eat more veggies. Drink enough. Eat enough protein which goes by 1 gramn per 1kg of you normal weight for your size. So if your regular weight would be 68 h Kilos your body needs 68 to 79 grams of protein. Eat chicken breast, salmon or eggs (nit mire than 5 per week). Shrimps with eggs is good as shrimps have high protein little fat. So this enables you of having 2 table spoons f quality oils to support your omega-3 and omega-6 essentual acid intake. Canola oil, linseed oil or cold pressed olive oil are the best.

[@Sorry_i_eated_it]

This is also helpful for people who wanna gain weight

[@joanntan6458]

Can you make a vid about how to gain weight😅

[@M231231]

Since I’m at 12th grade weight, I’ll take the chocolate! Sprinting is the weight loss cure. Let’s go! Age 70.

[@clavier-e7e]

pls make a video about how to gain weight.i have only 39 kg .age is 20 .what should i do.

[@macchiatote]

Fruits and vegetables are great. you can do better by adding sources of protein and fat in that supposedly healthy food side. it won’t end up looking like a lot then. But you’ll have all the essential macros you need in a day.

[@Lima7]

[@heartutube]

One I’m literally eating mcdonalds while watching this 👁️👄👁️ Two most of the healthy food in my area was recalled soooo

[@MommaWR]

How many grams of protein were on the whole food side? Because if we are showing a healthy way to consume a days worth of calories, protein needs to be part of the conversation.

[@SalomePulgarin-y9t]

so can i eat 1 sweet treat a day like some chips?

[@red-rr4si]

you sure can, you can even eat 2 just know that those calories sneak up on your fast

[@meloismellow5329]

Mine is.. more like 60-40..

[@NeovenatorRex]

2000 is actually not the average. It's been declared that a long time ago but most likely the average is higher

[@sib5464]

If you don't do sports it is way less. At least for me. As it totally depends on your age. A woman of 50 already needs 500kcal less than a 25 year old woman. Mine to domply keep my weight is 1500-1600. If I want to lose weight I cannot eat more that 1050kcal. I eat every day a protein bar with maltitol chocolate, no sugar. But tastes like real milk chocolate. Rest is a 'ton' of veggies ala at least 5 or 6 different vegetables plus 65-70 grams of protein as in fish, chicken, tofu or seafood. If I get hungry I eat some raw veggies with a little salt as a chips replacement. Watch out to get apor. 2 table spoons of high quality oils like canola or olive oil. Lost 33 kilos up to now in last 9 months

[@genife1127]

Whta to do if i want lose weight?

[@red-rr4si]

you eat in a calorie deficit which mean eating less then you need to maintain your weight

[@nicknamess232]

Who tf eats 3 table spoons of plain oil 😭🤣

[@sib5464]

It is healty and if you take linseed oil... the bitter taste spoils the food taste for me. And I take 2 tbl spoons. At first it tastes awful but after 1 week you get used to it. Consider it as a medicine. Otherwisectry to stay away from fried food. Cooked or steamed is much healthier

[@marmedello]

It’s supposed to represent the oil am person may use throughout the day. I usually replace butter with a healthy oil for health benefits. I also use it in salads, spinach, tabouli, baking, ect. It’s not about drinking it

[@nicknamess232]

@@marmedello but why do you need oil to make food if you only eat chocolate? fried chocolate sounds like a terrible idea?

Nuh uh I'd rather eat 2 cookies than tons of food that taste like shit

[@Redz_Wrld]

i eat wayy more calories than i should a day nd still under weight

[@marmedello]

It’s likely due to either genetics, a high metabolism or a healthy diet. My in laws have a terrible diet with frequent takeout, huge frequent meal that I could never imagine finishing even as someone who binge eats, high amounts of sugar, fried foods and candy. They typically hate and refuse to excercise and yet remain super thin. I on the other hand eat way healthier, although still far from consistently healthy. Much smaller portions usually, far less takeout, less sugar, despite my sweet addiction, and excercise more than most, but not all of my in laws, and yet Ive got a noticeable round belly that wants to stay BFF’s

[@eileenmarter6993]

Choc tastes better than anything on the verge side❤❤❤❤❤

[@tofu-munchingCoalition.ofChaos]

Honestly I really doubt that. Especially if you can cook. In my opinion people confuse taste with hyperpalatability (a sensation of wanting more). Similar to addiction. You probably like the sugar and fat in the chocolate not the chocolate taste itself (otherwise people would be all over unsweetened chocolate without an additional fat source). And the sugar and fat does not really add anything special to the taste. It just adds palatability.

[@ZenandeNgcobo-g9m]

You say all this yet still your the same weight from years ago

[@johnnarogers5636]

I did almost a reverse of this when trying to gain weight(Stress not eating lead to me being a bit underweight, ooops) Added more milk and cheese and oils to my diet because i was having a hard time eating enough food. Honestly milk was great for when i really didn't want to eat but knew i needed to eat. And oils also help bind to nutrients in food so your body can actually process them!!!

[@xSt4rlighttx]

This was a bit triggering….

[@NGUYENTHITHUYH-cj2xd]

Thank you so much for your sharing, but honestly I find it hard to maintain this healthy habit in a long run since consistency is required 🫠🫠

[@sib5464]

I agree. It takes a lot of discipline. But it is possible. I do it and it needs to be permanent as otherwise I am predestined for diabetes. I got my blood results improved quite much already from beginning duabetes to almost normal 109 from above 120. Diabetes starts at 126.
