She argues that all-or-nothing dieting and exercise obsession are both unsustainable, and that the flexibility built into the remaining 20 percent is what makes healthy habits last. The takeaway is that long-term results come from what you do week after week, not from any single meal or missed workout. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ellymcguinness.com/blog/80-20-fitness/ Quotes to ponder: "Your results come from what you do most often, not what you do occasionally." "Eating one healthy meal or doing a two-week juice detox does not make you healthy." "In small, infrequent amounts, most foods won't disrupt your goals."
