Can there be a single diet for everyone?

It doesn't seem like it.

Each person so different; some of us can go long periods without eating, while others cannot. Some can consume gluten, while others cannot. Some of us run five times a week. And what about those with type 2 diabetes? Or those who can't consume dairy products?

Let's cut to the chase

The best diet is a personalized diet.

Things to Consider:

  • Age
  • Exercise frequency
  • Allergies
  • Diseases
  • Gender
  • The calories you need to take in

What do experts say?

Aren't there universal truths for everyone?

whole food: nuts etc.

  • Avoid processed foods no junk food
  • Consume whole foods, such as Whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables, legumes, and seeds.
  • Be mindful of the fats you consume. Olive oil has been the king for millennia. Stay away from seed oils.
  • Get your sugar from fruit. Nowadays, junk food doesn't contain real sugar; they use glucose syrup. To avoid glucose syrup, cut out soft drinks and junk food from your life.

The less processed a food is, the better it is.

The Best Diet: What works for you?

The most important thing is that it should be a diet you can sustain.

You can't maintain a diet for long if it consists of things you don't like and probably never will.

You should create a diet from foods that you love and that are healthy. The best approach is to consult with a dietitian.

If you're overweight, this could also help you lose weight.

If you're not Italian, maybe you shouldn't eat so much pasta. Nature isn't always fair; not everyone can stay fit by eating the same things.

You can make a list of what makes you feel bad, tired, or sleepy after eating, and what makes you feel good, full, and energetic.

This will help you make better food choices and make it easier to chart a course when you visit a dietitian.

The fırst step should be to remove alcohol, sugar, and processed foods from our habits.
