Eating a paleo or caveman diet flips the Standard<br />

American Diet on its head from a macronutrient<br />

perspective. Instead of eating mostly carbohydrates<br />

with minimum fat, this diet consists of mostly fat,<br />

then protein, and finally minimal carbohydrates.<br />

Some people use the 80/20 rule, meaning they stick<br />

with “clean” paleo eating 80% of the time and then<br />

the other 20% of the time they eat whatever they<br />

want. The problem is that the 80/20 be<strong>com</strong>es 60/40,<br />

then 40/60, then 20/80 and then all bets are off.<br />

Don’t follow the 80/20 rule. Follow the 100% rule—<br />

that might turn into the 99% rule and that is okay.<br />

But the 80/20 rule isn’t a rule. It’s a step down the<br />

slippery slope.<br />

We know sugar is addictive. You are an addict. There<br />

is no such thing as an addict who is allowed to use<br />

their drug of choice 20% of the time, whether it is<br />

alcohol or cocaine or heroin.<br />

You are in the same boat. Going cold turkey and<br />

HOLDING THE LINE is the best way to stay on track.<br />

Once you have spent enough time staying 100% clean<br />

and you are adapted to that method of eating both<br />

mentally and physically, you can make some excursions<br />

to the dark side. I have an occasional mint chocolate<br />

chip milkshake or some other delicious but not<br />

nutritious treat.
