The Moderation Principle

Almost everyone has heard the phrase, ‘everything in moderation’. It definitely holds true in the area of nutrition. When people go on a diet they stop eating good tasting foods completely. Ultimately, these diets fail because they simply don’t allow for ‘treat foods’, even occasionally.

For any nutritional plan to be sustainable long term, it must allow for the occasional indulgence, otherwise it becomes too difficult to stick to.

Of course, if you want to achieve changes in your body you need to eat healthily and make it a permanent part of your lifestyle. However, it is also essential that you allow yourself the occasional treat so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on anything.
