[Message] Posted: April 29, 2011 I'm not sure how to use the 80/20 rule. I sometimes eat some grains, like oatmeal for example, so I get enough carbs for a long cardio workout. That's how it's adviced in the Paleo for athletes book. So would that make the oatmeal part of the 20%? Your goal is to eat primal 100% of the time, but there are times when you want a treat or you have no control over the food being served. Those are the times when the 20% comes in. Sometimes I feel like a burger or a hot dog with a bun, I don't kick myself over it. I had pizza this past week, not the end of the world. I guess it's all about keeping those indulgences to a minimum. I think this article covers it best: 80/20 Principle [Topic]
