- Weight loss: Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal talks about the 80/20 rule in her new Instagram Reels, and its effectiveness
Many people on a weight-loss regime look for quick results. In the quest to shed those extra kilos, people tend to eat only healthy food, and completely cut down on a lot of dishes that they love. However, does it work that way? Or do people who lose weight slowly but steadily are likely to keep it off in the long term?
In a new Instagram post, nutritionist Nmami Agarwal decodes a few weight-loss myths and tells her followers to have patience while waiting for results. She tells them not to rush.
Weight loss tips: Follow the flexible 80/20 rule for sustainable results
In the caption, Nmami tells her followers to remember the “80/20 rule to achieve your health goals in a more sustainable way”.
As the video starts, Nmami says everything will take time. If you want to change your eating pattern, it will happen with time.
Talking about the 80/20 rule, she said, “You’ll still achieve your health goals, if you eat nutritiously 80 percent of the time and the remaining 20 percent, you can indulge.”
The 80/20 rule for eating directs you to eat nutritious food for the majority, 80 percent of the time. While it allows you to have your favourite dish for the remaining 20 percent of the time. Nmami stated that you must eat nutritious food if you enjoy eating. Do not force yourself into eating greens just for the sake of having it. Sometimes it’s okay to indulge and go easy on yourself. Indulge guilt-free, Nmami added.
Nmami keeps sharing health-related posts on Instagram for her followers. A few days ago, she shared a beginner’s guide to healthy eating. In the video, she said that eating healthy doesn’t mean only eating so-called healthy food or starving yourself. But it was about more adopting healthy eating practices. This will keep your calorie intake in check and serve you with the required nutrition as well.
In another post, Nmami offered some simple tricks for embracing a healthy eating and lifestyle pattern. In the videos, she shared her views on eating healthy, cutting alcohol intake, and consuming whole foods. Read more about it here.https://www.jiosaavn.com/embed/playlist/85481065
