Oh, I like this one! There are some folks that think that moderation "can mean anything" but this article nails it down. It is the absence of extremes. Nice. Thanks for sharing it!0

This is exactly the direction I am heading. I have lost a lot of weight and gained some of it back. I am working on getting back to my goal weight. This is pretty much the route I am going to take. It might take me longer to get there, but I will be building healthy sustainable habits along the way. This makes a lot of sense to me.0

Yep. There was a discussion here recently where some people were trying to argue that moderation has a million different definitions, just like "clean." I couldn't figure out how to articulate that even though we all might do it differently, it is still the same thing.0 -
Here's the difference between trying to stick to a "clean" diet versus a "moderate" diet. To be "clean" you have to get it right. Otherwise it is, you know, unclean. Banished to the outskirts of the tribe.
To moderate, all you have to do is get it kinda, sorta right. As long as you are pointed in the right direction, you are climbing the mountain. If you hike 1KM today or 10, it is all fine because you are still kinda sorta getting there. Moderates don't have to be precise or perfect.0 -

But they aren't wrong. There are many different ways the term "moderation" is used in reference to diet. Not everyone that says they eat in moderation follows the description in this article.0 -

Is the definition in this article and is the actual definition.
Those who follow moderation do this exact thing...we don't do extremes.
It looks like eating a MOSTLY whole foods diet with plenty of nutrients from fruits, vegetables, lean meats, healthy fats, etc. The specifics will look different for everyone, because everyone has different preferences and tastes. It also leaves room for regular treats and indulgences that feed our soul and give us pleasure.
and this is the key to the article and moderation...

After more than a year on this site, I don't believe this is true. I'd say it's true of the majority who say they eat in moderation, but it's not true of all.0 -

After 2+ years on this site I know those that follow moderation get it and those that don't but say they do need to read the article...just like I said in my first post...

So only one definition that everyone follows, except for those that do something else and use the term incorrectly? ::laugh::
Sounds like every other diet term I've heard on this site - clean eating, IIFYM, plant based, paleo, etc.
EDIT: I do agree it's a good article though.0 -

no..moderation is not doing things in extreme. Period.
Those that follow moderation have specifics they follow but don't do extremes. Not a hard concept.
You may not agree it's "moderation" but you can't argue with the definition.
Defining clean eating is nearly impossible as there are too many definitions...moderation 1 definition.
Those that say they are moderate and eliminate foods is not the definition of moderation...it's an education thing not a definition being right or wrong thing.
but not gonna argue semantics.
Good article OP0
