80/20 Approach to Nutrition
She also stresses the importance of nutrition. Her stance? Eat healthy most of the time. "Adopt the 80/20 approach: nourish your body 80% of the time and enjoy treats guilt-free 20% of the time," she writes.
Healthy Lifestyle
Crash diets might help you lose weight fast, but they aren't generally a great tactic for long-term success. Instead, focus on a healthy lifestyle. "Stop falling for quick fixes and focus on building sustainable, long-term habits," she writes.
Don't Compare Yourself to Others
It can be tempting to compare yourself to others. However, you should only compete with yourself, she says. "Shift your focus from comparing yourself to others to celebrating your own successes, no matter how small."
