NOTE

Nutrition is Personal: Balance for Success

Nutrition needs to be tailored to individual goals and lifestyles, and it is essential to strike a balance between healthy eating and enjoyment. For those satisfied with their body and not pursuing specific fitness goals, a guideline of 80% minimally processed foods allows for 20% indulgence, which can reduce stress and foster a positive relationship with food. Conversely, for individuals with distinct goals, such as competitive bodybuilding, a stricter limit closer to 5% indulgence may be necessary. This balance helps maintain dietary sanity and underscores the importance of an individualized approach to nutrition, as cookie-cutter programs fail to address personal needs and contexts. Popular trends, such as intermittent fasting or one meal a day (OMAD), serve as reminders that success in weight loss is not one-size-fits-all, but should consider personal preferences and specific health objectives.
