How can diet plans be effective for some but not all individuals?
In: Biology
Hunger and metabolism are genetic in nature, so not everyone experiences a diet the same way. People also live vastly different lives, that require different diets.
Take the standard calorie deficit:
That can be difficult to balance for people working active jobs. Too little, you run out of in energy mid-shift, too much, you’re back to square 1.
For people who have more aggressive ghrelin responses, hunger will hit them much harder; they’ll have a tougher time sticking to a deficit.
Diabetics can face problems in general due to how they have to balance their sugars while still taking routine insulin injections.
Some peoples’ bodies are just gonna process food into bodyfat more efficiently, meaning they’re gonna have an uphill battle one way or another.
Fact remains: People are different. If everyone could manage the same thing, the problem wouldn’t exist.
That said, almost everything within reason works; which is why there are multiple diet plans. Pick whichever is best for you, and you’ll likely see results.
