Our training staff has been on a mission to find the truths and principles that underly the most popular nutrition fads out today. After reading books like Thrive, Primal Blueprint, Metabolism Advantage and The China Study, we've come up with a list of guidelines to follow.
My favorite nugget that I've taken out of this is the 80/20 principle. This simply states that we need to eat whole foods 80% of the time and enjoy the 20% of the time when we decide to treat ourselves. Realizing that there is no such thing as having 100% perfect nutrition, we shouldn't make having a treat worse for us by feeling guilty about it. As long as the bulk of your calories come from nutritionaly dense, whole foods, you should enjoy every last bite of your favorite ice cream... as long as it's only 20% of the time :)
