I'm glad someone else goes by the 80/20 rule..... I try to get my clients to understand this principle by seeing the big picture of sticking to the 80/20 whole heartedly!!! No slacking or it's the 70/30, or 60/40 rule.You just have to stick to your guns and hold on, it's not easy. If it was, every one would be thin and in perfect shape.Sit down figure out what 80% of your meals would be and make them your good ones, now allow yourself 20% of slack for those times to be human and live a little. Then get right back on track and stick to your 80%!

I'd like to know if anyone has the same problem as me. Once you start it's tough to stop. If I don't "need" cake, I'll skip it. However, if I have one tiny piece, I find that I'll want more. Or some other carb. Same with red wine. If I have more than 1-2 glasses I want other processed carbs. Odd. I thought it was alcohol impairing my judgement (LOL) but no I think it is driven by my insulin reaction. Thoughts?

Mark is an idealist, that's what we pay him for! Grok would probably have been more of an opportunist. I have this picture of him scarfing down a McDonalds because it was there, then barfing it back up and going in search of some real food. I tend to stay on plan most of the time but for example I just followed my fish and sea vegetables with some 85% chocolate and a cup of coffee, yesterday I had a glass of red wine with my organic beef sausages and asparagus. Sometimes I eat far too may carbs when I'm out. I always regret it afterwards, and like a lot of you I simply no longer enjoy things like pizza that I used to. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If anything the odd indiscretion is a wake-up call as to why I do what I do the rest of the time, keeps me to 90/10 Agree with a lot of this.

Although it does seem that these diseases are effecting children at younger and younger ages so I guess there is hope.
