Is Moderation Boring?

Falling for diet fads is tempting because they’re always sold in a sensationalized manner. It sounds exciting to completely overhaul your everyday routine for something new and revolutionary. In reality, the new wears off in a week or so, or maybe a few days. Then you’re left back at square one with no real, useful lifestyle changes. 

The good advice that a large number of people don’t want to hear is that moderation and everyday changes to your routine produce sustainable results. It’s similar to the story of The Tortoise and the Hare. Slow and steady wins the race. The nutrition version would end with the tortoise being in great shape while the hare is asleep, exhausted from constantly chasing fads.

Fads may seem exciting while moderation may seem boring, but if you really want to be healthier in the long-run, focus on everyday changes to your routine and habits.
