Posts: 1,858  I agree that moderation is best, at least for me.
Moderation has always worked for me in the past whereas I've
never eaten just all "diet foods" when reducing caloric intake.
I've always eaten what I've wanted, just watched the portion
sizes.  This time around since I've been the heaviest in my
life, I'm thankful that I finally found FitDay to help me with
not only the moderation, but also the macros and nutrients,
which happens to be totally new to me. So for the first time I'm
actually watching my cholesterol and sodium.  I also have to
stay away from triggers. I know I can't eat cookies or any more
chocolate (my sweet substitute is an occasional hard candy). I
think I'll be able to control ice cream once in a while, but
again I'll use FitDay to make sure I'm "hittin' the numbers" and
not going overboard. I was in the habit of eating 5 scoops at a
time, but no more.  When
