Celebrities love a diet. But not everything that works for a wealthy, high-profile celeb with unlimited access to a team of nutritionists, dietitians, and trainers will work for us.
That said, let me introduce you to the “80/20 rule diet.” Unlike other diets that require intense restriction, calorie counting, and deprivation – the 80/20 rule seems pretty reasonable. Celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Tom Brady swear by this eating plan, which typically involves eating nutritious foods 80 percent of the time and whatever the heck you want the other 20 percent of the time.
So what do experts think about the 80/20 rule diet? Is it actually good for you – or could there still be negative consequences to framing your eating habits this way?
