Translation

節制した / 控えめな / 禁欲的な

Meaning

Abstemious means restrained in eating, drinking, or other physical pleasures. It usually suggests moderation and self-control, not total avoidance. Do not use it with from; abstinent from alcohol is the normal phrase for complete avoidance.

Examples

• 彼は宴会でも食べ物と酒を控えめにした。
  He remained abstemious even at the banquet.
• その医師は節制した生活を勧めた。
  The doctor recommended an abstemious lifestyle.
