Moderation is Key

What moderation is
- The process of eliminating or lessening extremes. It is used to ensure throughout the medium on which it is being conducted. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/moderation)
- An opportunity to balance your diet with the "healthy" stuff and the "non-healthy" stuff. 


What moderation looks like




What moderation does
Moderation works. Why does it work? It gives us the best of everything we want. It doesn't make us choose between carbs or protein or sweets or vegetables. It doesn't make us fear carbs or sugar or fat. It gives us the freedom to choose foods we want and not ones that we don't. It gives us the freedom to choose foods we want, when we want them, instead of depriving ourselves and giving in worse later.

What moderation isn't 
As you can see above, moderation doesn't mean only eating "junk" food, all day, every day. It means you can eat how you want, what works for your schedule, body, and goals.

What You Should vs What You Shouldn't Eat

Today's society has a LOT of rules on what we should eat...and they like to explain it to us in the form of a meme, because regular words aren't good enough, we need fear mongering memes.....

So what should we eat? And what shouldn't we eat?

I'll break it down for you........

What you should eat...
1) Things you like
2) Things you love
3) Tacos (if you like them)
4) Ice cream (if you like it)

What you should NOT eat...
1) Things you don't like
2) Things you don't love
3) Tacos (if you don't like them)
4) Ice cream (if you don't like it)

It's really as simple as that.
