Why Strict Diet Rules Keep Failing (And What to Do Instead)
Today’s Lesson: The stricter the rule, the faster it breaks
You told yourself no carbs after 6PM. Worked fine until a late dinner with friends, then you figured the whole day was already blown and ordered dessert too.
Here is what actually happened: One flexible decision didn't wreck anything. The rule did, because it left no room for a normal Tuesday night.
The Fix: Build rules that bend without breaking
Aim for most meals on track, not every single one perfect.
So when life doesn't cooperate, adjust the next meal, don't scrap the day. That's it! Sustainability > Perfection
That's Today's Lesson: Rules that can't bend end up broken completely.
Already got a flexible system that works for you? Excellent, keep running it! If you want 1-on-1 coaching to help build these systems:

P.S. Perfect isn’t the goal. Long term sustainability is :)
