The idea of a 'final hurrah' before starting a new program is common, but it doesn't align with sustainable, real-life healthy habits.
As a fitness coach, my approach isn't about food avoidance followed by accidental indulgences. It's about a lifestyle that integrates enjoyment with health.
This means incorporating foods like pizza, ice cream, and cookies into a balanced routine, rather than treating them as forbidden foods.
The 80/20 rule means 80% of your foods are holistic and healthy while 20% can be the foods you crave.
As long as you're eating in a calorie deficit, this won't hinder your weight loss in the slightest, but will help you stick to the plan better and more longterm.
The goal is to live healthily consistently, not just during some weight loss program, unless you're okay losing weight that you regain.
