Living a healthy lifestyle is as easy as following the 80/20 rule. That is, eat clean 80% of the the time, and enjoy an occasional splurge. A rule of thump is yo eat plenty of fresh , veggies, berries, lean protein, healthy fat and lots of water. On this particular day, I had protein pancakes with berries, chicken detox soup for lunge and a splurge for dinner. I wouldn’t normally eat a beat but two of my boys are home, so I will throw in a couple people throughout the week ...that aren’t exactly on plan. I did serve them with okra, o ions and sauerkraut, so there was some nutrition in there you. Eliminating food groups is not only unhealthy but it’s also unsustainable. Did you follow the 80/20 rule this weekend? Follow for more tips on how to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
