Deep dives

The Importance of Adherence

Adherence to dietary plans often falters regardless of an individual's athletic background and goals. Individuals may frequently rationalize deviations from their diets, claiming circumstances such as social pressure or hunger justify their choices. Recognizing this tendency is crucial, as it can lead to a cycle of non-adherence where one makes excuses instead of remaining committed. Facilitating honesty about dietary behaviors allows individuals to identify their weaknesses and make necessary adjustments to reach their fitness goals.
