Bro, hold up, let me tell you what Mihaela Bilic just said, because she cleared things up for me too - I'm always arguing with Mioara about how many carbs I down with my after-work beer. "There are no forbidden foods," says the lady doctor, and it felt like a weight lifted off my chest, because, you know, I was feeling guilty about Fane's sausages on the terrace. Bilic, who's a primary care doctor in diabetes, nutrition, and metabolic diseases, explained on social media that perfection in eating is a myth, bro, and that balance is the key in the long run. And just like that, she pulls us out of that "all or nothing" mindset - because you can't go visiting with your diet Tupperware, as she says, and you can't refuse a barbecue for fear of breaking the rules. That's right, buddy, because when I go to the in-laws, if I don't eat my mother-in-law's sarmale, it's a national scandal!

Bilic brought to light the 80/20 rule, which is solid: 80% of the time we eat balanced, and 20% we relax. Meaning, during the week, we behave at least 5 days, and on the weekend we indulge. And it's no tragedy, she says, because we don't gain weight from one meal, and we don't lose weight by skipping one. To me, this is news from heaven, because I've tried those drastic diets online, where I stayed 3 days on salad and water, and I was still the same. Now, with this rule, I go calmly to Fane and have a sausage with bread, because I know the rest of the week I'll make up for it - although, I admit, from Monday to Friday I sneak in a beer now and then, but hey, "80% of the time" is pretty flexible, right?

The doctor urged people to stop dividing foods into "good" and "bad" and to give up the "all or nothing" thinking. "Choose one day a week when you forget about diets, calorie counting, and nutrition rules. We need this freedom; it's essential for our mental balance," Bilic said. And she ended with a verdict I'd bet on too: "Tomorrow, or on Monday, we're back to being good." Bravo, doc, there are still people with their heads on straight in this field! Now, I'm going to show Mioara the post, so she sees I'm not a jerk, but Bilic is freeing me from stress - and maybe she'll let me have another portion of mititei on Sunday, because hey, it's the weekend.
