According to Angela, the most important and first thing is consistency. Compared to trying to create a perfect healthy diet.
“It’s easy to do difficult things when you feel motivated, but it’s also easy to give up all these habits after the motivation disappears,” said Angela.
So people are advised to stay consistent, with an ’80/20′ approach. This means that 80% of the time we are expected to consistently eat healthy on various occasions, the remaining 20% is time for people to enjoy their favorite foods.
2. Make Rules for Yourself
In addition to consistency for healthy eating, Angela also suggests that people make rules that cannot be negotiated or changed. So whatever happens, this rule must still be implemented every day.
“If people want to change to a healthy lifestyle, you have to make rules that cannot be changed anymore. For example, you have to eat five different types of fruit and vegetables every day, or walk 10 thousand steps,” he said.
Whatever rules you make for yourself, Angela said that people must obey them so that their weight remains stable even if they are not on a diet.
3. View Failure as Input

“If there are things that don’t go according to plan, we can use them as input and learn from them, where they failed. Instead of immediately giving up and choosing to eat unhealthy food,” he said.
According to Angela, this mindset is very important in a person’s life. Apart from being consistent and making rules that must be followed every day, preparing healthy food or meal prep can also be an alternative to make it easier to eat healthy.
Because by preparing food for the next week or several days. People no longer need to bother preparing food, especially healthy food. So the options for eating out or buying unhealthy food are reduced.
