Personalized Nutrition and Diet
When you follow the diets that someone else around you get excellent results from, or the miraculous diet lists you hear from anywhere, you may think that your diet is going well at the beginning, but then it fails, which can upset you and cause your motivation to drop.
Since every diet list cannot create the same effect by adapting to everybody, the diet that a patient follows with great results may not be convenient for you. Patients trying to implement a diet that does not correspond with their eating habits and lifestyle may find it difficult to adapt to the diet and get unsuccessful results after a while.
It should be kept in mind that the diet is not a list of prohibitions from which people will be completely deprived of the foods they love. The most important part when dieting is not that you follow your diet, but that your diet fits you. It will be best for you to be able to balance yourself by providing portion control without putting restrictions on yourself, and to make you feel happy by consuming the right amount of food at the right time. At the same time, including your favorite foods in your diet will be the best way to turn your diet into a lifestyle.
Everyone's daily energy needs are different.
Shock diets, detox diets, and diets in which some foods or nutrients are completely prohibited, consumed in excessive amounts or completely restricted, can cause many health problems in the long term by disrupting the balance of the body. Due to all the issues mentioned above, in order not to experience health problems while losing weight, a healthy, adequate and balanced diet should be adopted to reach the individual's appropriate body weight and its continuity should be ensured.
It should be known that nutrition is a behavior that should be done consciously in order to take the nutrients needed by the body in sufficient quantities and at appropriate times to protect and improve health and increase the quality of life in every period of life.
Why should the diet lists be personalized?
It is known that 50 or more nutrients are needed for a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy life. In order for the individual to grow and develop healthily and live productively for a long time, the daily amount of each of these nutrients should be scheduled specially.
Your diet should match your lifestyle, habits and health disorders
While planning a personalized diet, the individual’s;
- daily lifestyle,
- sleeping pattern,
- health situation,
- eating habits,
- preferrable and unpreferable foods,
- social and psychological state,
- economic status
must be taken into account and;
- age,
- gender,
- body weight,
- size,
- metabolic rate,
- physical activity level
should be evaluated and a completely personalized diet is scheduled.
Diet is a way of life.
Personalized diet should be regulated by a dietitian!
It should not be forgotten that the healthiest way of eating should be personal, sustainable, accessible and applicable. As a result of all factors mentioned, your motivation will increase, and it will be easier for you to get efficiency from your diet. Therefore, this process should be managed in the most correct way by getting help from an dietitian to achieve the results you desire to reach in the healthiest way and to make your diet a lifestyle.
