I'm sure that most everybody here has heard someone say "you can eat whatever you want, so long as its within moderation", which in my experience in my weight loss journey, I have been able to eat my favorite foods in moderation and lose weight because of it. However on the flipside, I have also heard it said that the "everything in moderation" argument is a very dangerous argument and is non-conducive if not flat-out prohibitive of weight loss.
While I don't agree that "everything in moderation" is prohibitive of weight loss or health in general, I also understand that with those who suffer from BED/food addiction, it can be a very dangerous and/or triggering statement that can lead to binges or relapses.
Which is why I wonder, can moderation be a learned behavior for someone struggling with their weight? In my experience, I've noticed that if I'm making sure that I log everything I eat into either Lose It or the Fitbit app, I start eating less or making different food choices or increasing my activity to burn off the extra calories. So in my case, that's how I learned to eat things in moderation, especially foods that aren't very healthy for you that I love.
