Now, the first thing you must understand is that it’s vital for your body to fulfill its daily nutrient requirements. Hence, although you might decide to cut down on a few food items, you must absolutely make sure that you give your body its desired nutrition.
Let’s use the 80/20 rule and decide to eliminate that 20% food from your overall diet that will help in 80% reduction of your weight.
OK – now let this sink-in: if you want a healthy body, you just need to concentrate on reducing or completely eliminating the following items from your diet …
The 20% of foods that are 80% responsible for your weight problems are …
• Flour
• Sugar
• Salt
• Alcohol
That’s not complicated is it? It is also not a lot to remember. But this is powerful because if you can just work on cutting-down or eliminating these foods from your diet, you will have no problems with weight at all.
Foods that contain added sugar and refined flour, quite simply, are nutrient-poor. Foods that contain whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes are rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre (fiber). So avoid foods containing these things – especially cakes, pastries, biscuits etc – which contain both!
Salt itself does not cause you to gain or lose fat because salt has no calories. However, a diet that is high in salt will likely affect both your blood pressure and your weight.
Why? Because high levels of salt in the modern diet usually come from processed foods which are also usually high in calories. So stick to a low-salt diet, because it will most probably consist of lower calorie, healthier foods.
Now then – alcohol! A friend of mine, who was clinically obese, completely solved his weight problem just by – guess what? Simply by giving up alcohol!
Here’s something that will probably surprise you: what is usually referred to as a beer-belly is NOT caused by excess alcohol calories being stored as fat! It turns out that less than five percent of the alcohol calories we consume are turned into fat. The main effect of drinking alcohol is a reduction in the amount of fat our bodies burn-off as energy.

So we need to work on reducing or eliminating this stuff from your diet! Now I understand that these items may be part of your daily diet and you can’t even imaging doing without them. The trick is not to cut down or eliminate them in one go, but instead proceed slowly.
So, now let the message of this book sink in. There are just those 4 food groups to remember. That’s the 80/20 law! You will probably not need to reduce all of them; and you do not need to completely eliminate – just cut-down!
