ave you ever wondered why some people are more susceptible to weight gain despite eating well and exercising, whilst others seem to remain slim with minimal effort? Many experts believe that this is due to our genetic makeup. This has resulted in a number of diets designed specifically for our unique body-types. One example is the blood type diet; based on the theory that your blood group determines how your body deals with different nutrients and digestive enzymes. The blood type diet is a firm favourite among many celebrities who rave about the results, but there is currently not enough evidence to support the claimed benefits. Personalised diet plans, however, are thought to have a positive effect on weight loss. This is because everyone has a different goal, different tastes and different abilities. Fad diets are usually difficult to maintain, and many will regain weight once the diet is completed. The aim should be to nourish your body by continuously eating a balanced, healthy diet—so that healthy eating becomes embedded in your daily routine. It’s a good idea to speak to your doctor before embarking on any strict diet plan, as your doctor can offer advice or refer you to a registered nutritionist. Each person’s body reacts differently to certain foods, with a number of influencing factors. Many people suffer from dietary issues such as lactose intolerance or gluten sensitivity, meaning they may need to avoid particular foods. Lifestyle also plays an important part—marathon runners will need to eat differently to body builders. With this in mind, a ‘one size fits all’ diet is a diet unlikely to be effective for all; but what is possible is to maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet with an active lifestyle.
