132 | Why ‘Eating Everything in Moderation’ Won’t Work for You—But Also, Why It Might

Eating in moderation sounds like the perfect, balanced approach for fat loss—unless it doesn’t work. While it’s often seen as the golden rule of healthy eating, it only works if certain conditions are met.

In this episode, I break down when moderation works, when it doesn’t, and the two essential questions you need to ask yourself before making it your go-to strategy. If you’ve ever wondered why eating in moderation feels effortless for some people and frustrating for others, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The real definition of moderation (and why it’s different for everyone)
  • Why eating “in moderation” works for some but not for others
  • The role of metabolic flexibility in making moderation effective
  • How to build your ability to eat in moderation while still seeing results

Key Takeaways:

  1. Moderation only works when you have the awareness of what’s in your food and what your body needs.
  2. If you struggle with weight gain when trying to eat intuitively, your metabolism might need some revitalization work.
  3. Muscle is the key to increasing metabolic flexibility, allowing you to eat more while still burning fat.
  4. The goal isn’t to track forever—it’s to build the awareness and habits that make moderation effortless.

Eating in moderation can be the ultimate goal, but it may not align with where you are right now. By improving awareness, building muscle, and strengthening metabolic flexibility, you can get to a place where you never have to track another macro or count another calorie again.
