Schneider-Weiffenbach is a big proponent of eating clean, and avoids paying attention to the scale; instead she focuses on how she feels, and the results she can see in the mirror. “What works for one might not work for the other,” she wrote on her lifestyle blog. “Therefore, listen to your body!”But that doesn’t mean she avoids unhealthy food altogether. In fact, Schneider-Weiffenbach subscribes to the “80/20 rule” in which 80% of the food she puts into her body includes a ton of vegetables, seafood, complex carbs, and spices, and the other 20% is cheat food to maintain balance in her diet.Check out the full Instagram post here.
