How can diet plans be effective for some but not all individuals?
In: Biology
Theoretically, diets for the purpose of weight loss do work for practically everyone. Outside of dietary needs, more calories going out than are going in is going to lead to weight loss.
The problem is adherence: how closely someone is able to follow the diet. If you tell someone that’s routinely over-eating to cut their intake in half….its unlikely to be adhered to, even if it’s theoretically possible. Some people respond well to an entire shift in diet (keto, paleo, etc), while others will only respond well to a reduction in their current diet.
