Many people find the 80/20 rule a good way of keeping themselves on the right track during maintenance. The 80/20 rule is about choosing sensibly most of the time, and having a little of what you fancy some of the time. This guide often fits in to the working week, watching what you eat Monday to Friday and relaxing more at the weekend. Please, please, don’t take this as the green light to go hell for leather at the weekend. It’s a sad but true fact that everything we put in our mouths has an effect on our bodies, and we simply can’t get away with bingeing and then starving ourselves to try and make up for it. That’s bordering on an eating disorder and stands for everything we’re against.

The 80/20 rule is fine when you feel very comfortable with your relationship with food, and when you are also really enjoying your GL lifestyle. If you don’t feel safe letting your guard down, then don’t do it yet. Wait a while and come back to it in a few weeks’ time. Go at your own pace.
