Part 5/10:
I prioritized establishing a meal structure that suited my lifestyle rather than sticking to a rigid meal plan. By creating a collection of favorite recipes and snack ideas, I ensured my diet remained enjoyable. Adopting the 80/20 rule allowed me to indulge occasionally without feeling guilt or ruining my progress.
Creating a balance meant ensuring that 80% of my choices aligned with my health goals while allowing for some flexibility. This approach facilitated an enjoyable relationship with food, which is essential for long-term adherence.
