Embrace Flexibility Over Rigidity in Dieting
Rigid dieting is characterized by cognitive restraint and views food in strict binary terms, which can lead to an unhealthy relationship with eating. In contrast, flexible dieting promotes a nuanced perspective, allowing for indulgences as long as they remain a minor part of the overall diet. This approach focuses on overall progress rather than perfection, encouraging individuals to assess their dietary success on a spectrum. Achieving 80% adherence to healthy choices can lead to weight loss or improved body composition, demonstrating that balance and moderation are key to sustainable dieting.
