To live in moderation is not an easy skill to learn and apply. You still need to exert more effort to be able to live consistently in moderation, especially if we apply it to eating and exercise. But eating in moderation is the most effective way to attain long-term effective weight control according to numerous published studies. But what’s the best way to jumpstart your weight loss? When we talk about the best way, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the fastest way to achieve something. Choosing the best strategy to jumpstart something like lifestyle change will primarily mean being able to sustain a strategy that you intend to start on, otherwise it will just be like something that never occurred at all—like fast weight loss and then fast weight gain.
