I expect you’ve heard of the “80/20 Rule” which states that 20% of the people in any group do 80% of the productive work. Well, my brilliant Partner Susanne (please, don’t tell her I said that, she’ll get big headed) has come up with an “80/20 Weight Loss” format.

What she has discovered is that if you use your weight loss hypnosis correctly and eat good healthy foods and exercise properly 80% of the time, you can treat yourself on occasion.

My own experience bears this out. For instance yesterday I had a healthy breakfast of Muesli, lunch was a tuna salad and an apple, I had a snack at 5 pm; multi-grain cripsbread with jelly, 2 dates, 2 dried apricots and 10 almonds. I then played tennis for 2 hours.

After tennis I had 1.5 pints of lager beer. As it was after 9 pm when I got home, for dinner I had beans on 2 multi-grain crispbreads and fruit.

When I got on the scales this morning I was 1 pound lighter than at the same time yesterday morning. And this happened despite drinking 1.5 pints of beer that most diets would, I feel sure, absolutely forbid.

The point is that I like beer and I don’t want to make myself feel deprived, just because I am in the process of bringing my weight down and toning my body.

If you read my articles regularly you will also know that the day before yesterday I ate a full birthday lunch with wine and beer.

Obviously you can’t stuff your face with calories all the time and expect to lose weight. But the point I’m making here is that you don’t have to starve yourself like a hermit in order to achieve steady weight loss. (I will be definitely careful about my calorie intake today.)

Provided that you follow Susanne’s advice and eat sensibly of healthy foods and exercise regularly eighty percent of the time, you will lose weight.

This 80/20 Weight Loss Rule really appeals to me because it makes sense. It also fits in with my social and work schedules.
