The Need for Individualized Nutrition Plans
Many traditional diets fail because they adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, leading to unsustainable weight loss and regaining lost weight. Research shows that only about 20% of dieters maintain significant weight loss long-term, primarily due to the loss of muscle mass along with fat when using restrictive diets. The evidence-based and flexible dieting approach encourages individuals to customize their nutrition by tracking their caloric intake and ensuring they meet their daily protein targets. By allowing for personal preferences regarding carbs and fats, this method promotes sustainable eating habits without deeming certain foods as entirely bad.
