Hey all!   This week on the pod I’m talking about the 80/20 approach to nutrition.   For those of you who don’t know, this is an approach to eating designed to prioritize health and nutrition-related goals without being overly perfectionistic.   The general concept: make 80% of your diet whole, minimally processed, nutrient-dense foods, and you don’t need to stress about the other 20% - eat what you want.   While I love this as a strategy for general health and nutrition, I don’t see it being helpful for most of my client’s struggling with disordered eating.   This is because disordered eating usually involves high degrees of perfectionism and obsession around what, how much and when one eats.   When you give these clients a “rule”?   They’re going to use all their willpower to follow it PERFECTLY…and these unrealistic and inflexible expectations often lead to under eating, binge eating, or unhealthy guilt and anxiety around food.   In this case, we need to focus on re-developing the skill of intuitive eating and healing our relationship with food so we can let go of fears around weight and eating and approach 80/20 in a *truly* flexible way.   In this episode I break down: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How I recommend using the 80/20 rule for general health and for fat loss goals </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Signs the 80/20 rule is not a healthy approach for you right now </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How to learn to eat intuitively, heal your relationship with food, and implement the 80/20 rule in a flexible and stress-free way </li> </ul>   Give it a listen and let me know what you think!   If you like the show - I would so appreciate you leaving a rating and review!   📲 Contact me: DM me on Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/elenakunickird/">@elenakunickird</a>      Email me at <a href= "mailto:elena@elenakunicki.com">elena@elenakunicki.com</a> (direct 1:1 coaching inquiries here!)   ❓Submit questions for future episodes here: <a href= "https://forms.gle/PU4aptH2RRF5Q8JK6">https://forms.gle/PU4aptH2RRF5Q8JK6</a>   ✨ Learn more about my group program + fill out an application: <a href= "http://bit.ly/normaleater">bit.ly/normaleater</a> ✨ Watch my free class - How I Stopped Binge Eating: <a href= "http://bit.ly/howIstoppedbingeeating">bit.ly/howIstoppedbingeeating</a> ✨ Free meal guide: <a href= "http://bit.ly/bprmealplan">bit.ly/bprmealplan</a> ✨ Free workbook: <a href= "http://bit.ly/ekfreeguide">bit.ly/ekfreeguide</a>   Metabolic Adaptation Episode: <a href= "https://elenakunicki.libsyn.com/metabolic-adaptation-the-lasting-effects-of-your-1200-calorie-diet-days"> https://elenakunicki.libsyn.com/metabolic-adaptation-the-lasting-effects-of-your-1200-calorie-diet-days</a>   Hyperpalatable Foods Episode: <a href= "https://elenakunicki.libsyn.com/hyperpalatable-foods-how-to-trust-yourself-around-them"> https://elenakunicki.libsyn.com/hyperpalatable-foods-how-to-trust-yourself-around-them</a>
