Why “Moderation” is BAD advice
The “Moderation” Myth (and why it keeps people stuck)
“Everything in moderation” sounds wise… until you realize moderation isn’t a measurement. It’s a mood.
For some people, moderation is:
• one cookie a month
For others, it’s:
• “just a little” every day
…and that’s how you stay inflamed, craving, and confused about why nothing changes.
1) Moderation is NOT standardized
If you can’t define it, you can’t follow it.
Most people don’t fail because they’re weak—
they fail because the rule is vague.
Bedrock truth: clarity creates consistency.
2) “Moderation” doesn’t work for addictions or intolerances
We don’t tell an alcoholic to “drink responsibly.”
We tell them to abstain—because the trigger isn’t neutral.
Food is not all the same.
Some foods are real nourishment.
Some “food-like products” are engineered to hijack appetite, dopamine, and blood sugar.
For many people:
✅ Zero is peaceful
❌ Some is mental warfare
3) The grey zone keeps you sick enough to suffer, but not enough to change
A little bit of the wrong thing—daily—can keep:
• insulin elevated
• hunger louder
• cravings constant
• inflammation simmering
• energy unstable
You don’t heal a broken system by injuring it “just a little.”
Bedrock approach
If a food creates a cascade (cravings, binges, blood sugar spikes, joint pain, anxiety, fatigue)…
don’t negotiate with it.
Remove it. Reset. Rebuild.
Then reintroduce with data and discernment—if it’s even worth it.
Question: What’s ONE thing you’ve tried to “moderate” that actually does better at ZERO?
