I don't know about you, but around 4pm I start getting a twinge of hunger. Of course, I can easily work through it but I find if I don't snack on something then I'll be ravenous at dinner and most often eat more than I should. Apparently I'm not alone since the Mayo Clinic posted an article about how snacks can be a valid part of a weight loss plan.

There was a guest post on Greatist from Yael Cohen, where she enlightened readers on her view of trying to live healthy in a world of over-indulgence.  What's the main take away?  The 80/20 rule... Try to live healthy for 80% of the time, and let the remaining 20% be discretionary.  That means don't deprive yourself from eating the foods you love, but just make sure you don't go overboard with those guilty pleasures.

She has some great pointers for the 80%, so check out her article to see what you can do to improve YOUR strategy.
