It seems to me that you have totally given up. And giving up means you can continue down the easier path of eating whatever you want, based on the concept of moderation. Is that a fair characterization?
It's not in the eye of the beholder.
Choose what's better for your health:
1) a small baked potato or a serving of potato chips/french fries?
2) a small apple or a serving of apple pie?
3) a high fiber diet or a low fiber diet?
4) a diet high in saturated fat or a diet with a small amount of good fat?
5) a diet high in animal protein and low in vegetables or a diet high in vegetables and low in animal protein? (A vegan diet is all the better.)
6) a diet with fruit for dessert and/or snacks, or a diet with processed desserts like ice cream or cookies.
7) a diet that calls for lots of processed foods like pizza, or a diet that eliminates processed foods.
Exactly what is it that you find confusing?
