The point of moderation is to prevent problems. Once you've already got problems, it may be a different story. However, extremity in seeking weight loss may not be a good plan either. I have known people who developed health problems as a result of the Adkins plan, the "primal" type stuff, etc. I've also known people helped by it. These are decisions to be made with the advice of a doctor, not an Internet mailing list or a blog or some other web site.
My Dad was an insulin dependent diabetic from the age of 6, which he developed as a consequence of having had polio in 1935. He took two to three shots of insulin a day for the rest of his life, which was about 25 years longer than he had been told to expect (he lived to be 67). It's a disease best prevented. Even though he was compliant with diet and treatment, it still took a toll on his health (coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy but oddly no problems with kidneys or eyes). He had a great endocrinologist... It's so much better not to need a great endocrinologist. As a result I pay a lot of attention since I may have an increased risk, although no doctor can tell me for sure since diabetes does not run strongly in the family on either side.
