Come join The Moderation Movement! The Moderation Movement was founded in November 2014 by fitness professional, Jodie Arnot from healthy balance fitness and myself, Zoe, and we have now gathered over 38,000 followers. We started The Moderation Movement to show people that you don’t need to go to extremes with nutrition and exercise in order to take care of your health. We also want to let people know that extremes such as cutting out food you enjoy, eating “clean” or paleo, or exercising to burn as many calories as possible, can actually be damaging to health for many people. Why are we concerned about these extremes with eating and exercise? We need this because the focus around food and the “right” way to has become insane. Health and healthy are now such loaded terms that have been mixed up with “clean” eating, “quitting sugar” and “Paleo” which take eating well to the extreme and are not necessary for good health. These extreme forms of “healthy” eating are leading to very distorted relationships with food and body, and in many, eating disorders or orthorexia (a yet to be classified eating disorder and an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating). Discover a world where food is just food and you can let go of worry and anxiety Preoccupation with food and your body can eat up so much of your life. It’s time to change. Jodie and I both love enjoying delicious food and a glass of bubbles or two – as you can see mine is empty – and we want you to be able to fully enjoy these pleasure too, without feelings of guilt or anxiety or the thought that you’ve been “bad” and you need to make up for it somehow. To learn more about how you can change your relationship with food, read about The Non-Diet Approach and Intiuitive Eating. Jodie and I also run events where we present on how to start healing your relationship with food and your body, intuitive eating, body image and self compassion – follow our The Moderation Movement Facebook page to find out when our next Event will be held.
