80/20 System for Weight Loss | Bone Broth Lifestyle Plan
MY PERSONAL STORY – As I mention yesterday, I just completed Dr. Kellyann Petrucci’s 21-Day Bone Broth Diet, the diet that said “Lose up to 15 pounds, 4 Inches – and your wrinkles – in just 21 days.” Truth be told, I didn’t attain those exact results, but what I did achieve was:
1) I can feel that my body is burning fat more efficiently, as proven by the weight loss
2) I’m feeling lighter – exactly 7.2lbs lighter, more energetic, and focused
3) I can see my skin is starting to improve with elasticity and hydration thanks to the bone broth
4) And I can see that my clothes are looser
Now that I’ve completed the 21-Day diet, it’s time for the maintenance, the lifestyle plan – how to keep the pounds off forever, how to: 1) reach your ideal weight goal and 2) focusing on the foods that keep you slender, while not being afraid to cheat every once and a while. So let’s begin with the first way – the 80/20 System for Weight Loss.
UNDERSTANDING THE 80/20 SYSTEM
The 80/20 system is straightforward:
80% of your meals: Focus on nutrient-dense, low-carb, and high-protein foods, along with daily servings of bone broth.
20% of your meals: Allow room for treats or foods outside the plan, such as a dessert, pasta dish, or favorite snack.
This balance creates a lifestyle that is realistic, enjoyable, and easy to sustain over time. The 80% keeps your body nourished and supports your health goals, while the 20% prevents feelings of deprivation, making it easier to stay on track.
IMPLEMENTING THE 80/20 RULE IN THE BONE BROTH LIFESTYLE
Prioritize Bone Broth in Your 80%
* Start your day with a warm mug of bone broth to support gut health and hydration.
* Use bone broth as the base for soups, stews, and sauces in your main meals.
* Incorporate it into snacks, such as sipping bone broth between meals to curb hunger.
Build Your 80% Meals Around Whole Foods
* Proteins: Lean meats, poultry, fish, and plant-based options.
* Vegetables: Non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, and zucchini.
* Healthy Fats: Avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds.
* Low-Glycemic Fruits: Berries, citrus, and apples in moderation.
Enjoy the 20% Without Guilt
* Treat yourself to small indulgences, such as a slice of cake, a glass of wine, or a favorite comfort food.
* Plan your indulgences mindfully to avoid overindulging, such as saving them for special occasions or weekends.
Remember that the 20% is part of the plan, not a “cheat” day.
