I agree with DR that focusing on the minutae makes more interesting conversation than eating healthy food and exercising. More of my co-workers are willing to talk about their diet (low carb, Atkins, etc) than to talk about their workouts. It is easier to keep talking rather keep moving. That is why sometimes I think I will strain my eyeballs from all my eye rolling when I get health advice from my co-workers.

I agree.

A lot of people will spend considerable time and money making sure their grains are organic or whatever, not pausing to think whether they should be buying grains in the first place.

This is great, Scott! I’ve shared it on my blog OneHealthyGirl.com.

You and your readers may be interested in my Economic Crisis Diet (aka The Silver Lining Diet) because it provides 10 tips that each take the planet, personal health and personal finances into consideration. My Diet illustrates how we can focus on the big and small picture simultaneously. It may be more radical than the 80/20 approach, but I think it’s very “doable.” The link to the Diet is on my blog – look for the stack o’ cash.

Be well, Carla aka OneHealthyGirl.com

Scott –

Right on the money. 90% of new clients starting out with me ask me what the best supplements are, what their meal timing should be like, etc., while in the meantime they eat poorly, sleep a few hours a night (if at all), and haven’t lifted anything heavier than a pencil in years.

Getting the basics right over and over again is as non-sexy as it gets. It’s also 99% of success.
