The Hershey Center for Health & Nutrition, (HCHN) in collaboration with the American Dietetic Association, has created a new national program called Moderation Nation. With this program you can now have access to a variety of tools that will help you achieve moderation – and you don’t even need to give up your favorite foods!
When I first read about Moderation Nation, I had to smile – we’ve been teaching that word to J (our 3-year-old) for the past several weeks. We’d hand him his drink when we got in the car to go somewhere, and he’d drink it all within a minute, leaving him without any for the rest of our trip out. So, we tell him to drink a little at a time and then he’ll have more later. Now if I hand him his drink and say, “Don’t drink it all right away!” he’ll say, “I know, Mom – moooooderation!” :) I know I could use some help with moderation myself – it’s too easy to eat more than I mean to!
There’s also a new Moderation Nation iPhone app, free and available on iTunes or via www.themoderationnation.com, that will reward you for the activity you’re already doing, while encouraging you to do even more in a way that suits your busy lifestyle. With an easy-to-read tracker and a comprehensive list of activities to choose from, you can earn badges for your progress and go from a Starting Gun to a Healthy Hero!
The Moderation Nation Web site (www.themoderationnation.com) provides a host of new tools, including:
- Recipes and Expert Tips. Here you’ll find advice from Cheryl Forberg, registered dietitian (RD) for NBC’s The Biggest Loser, award-winning chef and New York Times best-selling cookbook author
- Additional recipes and tips from Regina Ragone, Food Director at Family Circle magazine; Keri Glassman, author of the O2 diet; and Liz Ward, author of Expect the Best Pregnancy.
- Moderation Menus. Seven-day meal plans – with snack ideas – that will help you plan out your week. Each menu is based on an individual lifestyle, such as Single, Adults with Kids and Adults with No Kids.
- Balance the Meal. This cool balancer tool allows you to input your main dish and its preparation method; in return, you’ll receive ideas for complementary side dishes that round out the meal smartly.
- Useful Facts. Here you’ll find everything from a “portion distortion” guide – providing cues on what actual portion sizes should look like – to a grocery shopping fact sheet – to a guide on how to start and maintain a food journal.
Are you ready to embrace moderation? Check out the Moderation Nation website or download the free iPhone app! One lucky reader will also win a Moderation Nation prize pack provided by Hershey’s through MyBlogSpark. This pack includes, among other things, a bag of Hershey’s Kisses – the perfect way to have chocolate in… say it with me… moderation!
One reader will win a Moderation Nation Prize Pack, which includes a Moderation Nation t-shirt, Hershey’s chocolate and a nutrition journal to track your food and activities. Entries will be accepted until midnight CST on Monday, October 25.

I learned that the average American adult spends 91% of their waking hours SITTING. Yikes…no wonder we have an obesity epidemic in this country. :-/ I guess I better get up from the computer and do something now. ;-)

I thought this was interesting: 70% of consumers don’t do more to achieve a balanced diet because they don’t want to give up their favorite foods and need more practical tips to eat right.

Studies have shown that restricting particular foods can lead to feelings of deprivation and actually contribute to weight gain. sperrysad at yahoo dot com
