In the pursuit of health, the deprivation or enjoyment of food is the central issue. Most people, however, fall into the trap of extreme dieting and look on food as "good" or "bad". This leads to feelings of guilt and on the contrary, indulgence.

01
Adopt the 80/20 Principle for Balanced Nutrition
- Do not seek an ideal diet plan which will land you only with exasperation and disappointment. Substitute for this the 80/20 rule. That is, most or all of your meals should go in for nutrient-dense or whole foods including fruits as well as vegetables lean protein sources and whole grain as fine healthy eating choices; but then there is still that 20% with which you're off schedule on purpose and by choice, the stuff we all know we shouldn't eat but just can't resist.
02
Practice Mindful and Joyful Eating
- Health is not merely what you eat, but how you eat. This is what you will achieve and experience when you eat slowly, surely and mindfully aroused. You look at the colors of food smell its odor, touch or some equivalent and taste on your guide tongue or on every inspiration. Eating undistracted —be it from a phone or television screen— allows you to listen when your body says “I’m full or hungry”.
03
Redefine Your Plate with Flexible Guidelines
- Forget rigid meal plans and fill your plate with the foods your body loves to help you shed fat for good. Your diet is a bank account. The basic visual is that half your plate be filled with colourful veggies or fresh fruit, one quarter of it with lean protein — chicken, fish, tofu or legumes — and the fourth-quarter portion include complex carbs (quinoa, sweet potato or brown rice). This way you will get a correct measure of fiber, protein and fats. By stabilizing your energy values in turn these combinations keep you fuller for longer periods of time.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the best relationship with food is one of harmony not control. Through the 80/20 principle, mindfulness in eating, and flexible food guidelines, we can break out of a cycle of destruction by extreme dieting and make peace with food.
