How many times have you heard that statement? The best results are always when anything is done in moderation. You gain body fat because you weren't eating or drinking in moderation so in order to reverse that situation you also need to plan your weigth loss programs so that eating or exercising that is involved with that program is also done in moderation.
Excessive exercising for somebody who hasn't done much in the past can result in injury and that injury can make you less mobile and increase the opportunity to gain body fat.
Sudden changes in diet will send the body into reactionary mode storing fat. Gradual changes to your diet on the other hand done in moderation will not send signals to the body that is a starving and in fact you won't feel as though you are starving either if you do it in moderation.
Making moderate changes to your food and exercise won't infringe on your lifestyle anywhere near as much and that will in effect make it a lot easier for you to maintain the changes for a lot longer until they become second nature.
This is when you will get to the stage where you can gradually keep reducing the body fat and become healthier and healthier and more energetic as time goes on.
Even your intake or water has to be in moderation because drinking excessive water can flush out important nutrients from your system doing more harm than good.
You are better drinking a glass of water here and there throughout the day rather than trying to drink gallons of water in the hope that it will help you to lose weigth faster.
Even good foods need to be eaten in moderation as excessive quantities of these foods can still cause the body to store them as fat.
It's a simple rule to follow really; if you are eating drinking or exercising too much or too little you are unlikely to get optimum results.
