Well done! Very effective and simple. May take longer to bring down weight but a sure way. On my way to the various topped pizza: the 20%, helps me stop craving and brooding when stopped.
I appreciate where you guys are coming from here, about not being obsessive with health, but one problem with this approach is that by eating "what you crave" 20% of the time, you are refueling your food addictions, which will keep you in the cycle of eating junk food. Most diets today go by your assumption, that "it's ok" to eat junk food once in a while. And most diets today fail because dieters can't stick to them, and I'm betting the food addictions caught up to them in the end.
What a great rule! And thanks for reinforcing the idea of not stressing about those times when you give in and have something you "shouldn't". I think it's what can throw a lot of people off because they think that as soon as they "give in" and eat something "bad", they feel like they've done something irreversable (myself included), but it really isn't the end all and be all. Like you said, it's the big picture that counts.
