Why 80/20 Is BS

We're tackling a BIG myth that's been holding you back: the whole "80/20" thing when it comes to eating. You know, eat healthy 80% of the time, and go wild the other 20%. Sounds dreamy, right? Here's the kicker---it doesn't work. Not for lasting weight loss, anyway. We've all been there, telling ourselves we're "mostly" healthy, but let's face it---80/20 often turns into 60/40 (if we're being honest). And that's not enough to move the needle, especially if you're in your 30s, 40s, or 50s. Why? ...

How I Accidentally Figured Out The Secret to Weight Loss

Hey babes! We're diving into a topic that I think is such a game-changer when it comes to weight loss.
