The Trap of the “Perfect” Blueprint
We have too many options of diet plans if we are looking for, all of them are based on either caloric restrictions or exercise overload or both.
Strict diets fail as they are focused on larger result in shorter period, too controlling – and our body takes time to adapt a little change even.
The way our body reacts to those restrictions differ person-to-person based on several internal and external factors like: our body type, age, gender, environment we live in, weather/season, current stress levels, social support, etc.
In short, there is no ‘Perfect’ blueprint or ‘one size fit all’ of diet plans.
