Hello Everyone!  I am brand new (as my name states) to this blogging world, so go easy on me if you would.  My name is Tom Rio.  I know, I know, it sounds like a baseball players name, now batting:...Tom RIIIIOOOOOO!  
     Well, any who, I am starting this blog to do two things:  
1.  To help me get acclimated to this whole blogging thing.
2.  To help folks who need or want the information I have.




     Now down to the nitty gritty :)  I have been studying Nutrition for about 10 years now, it has always been a hobby of mine and I am intrigued by almost every aspect of it.  I wouldn't say I am an authority or even close to a nutritionist, or even by far a doctor.  That being said I think I have a very good grasp on Diets, Exercise, and overall Health.  
    The key word for today is going to be...Moderation.  Not only is Moderation an important thing in health but also in life.  Without getting too preachy I think a very good rule of thumb is to do things in moderation, even earning money that is, it just seems to me that too much of a good thing is a bad thing (sorry country singer who said too much of a good thing, is a good thing)  So when we look at what we are eating we should check if we are being moderate.  Don't have too much salad, but more importantly, don't have too much candy.  I think starting off simply with this little tip will help everyone get to where they need to be.  It is not a quick-fix but it is a root problem solver.  
I know everyone is probably wondering why I called my Blog, No Such Thing As A Diet.  The word diet is actually Greek for "a way of life, mode of living"  Sounds pretty permanent right?  Yet we have come to know it as something temporary.  Diet really shouldn't be a word, it gives the wrong idea, a diet is not what your planning to deprive yourself of, it's what you eat, what you are, what you live.   I could go on forever, but I want to keep this first blog short.  I will give you a taste of what is to come below.  Remember, when you go for that second helping, just think "am I using moderation?"  (Write this down and post it on the fridge, get it tattooed on your hand, do what you must to remember) 


Thanks for reading and remember, I am here to help, feel free to post anything you want, questions or comments!
Thanks again,
-Tom Rio
