Baby, it’s not your fault, it’s the diet’s fault.
How often do you hope that friends or boyfriends will use this phrase in the face of your weight loss failures? Still, it may not be your fault that you misplaced the diet, but it may be the diet that is not for you. How is it possible?

According to recent research from Stanford University , not only is weight loss not the same for everyone, but certain diets that work wonders on some may not work as expected in other cases, and maybe yours is one of them.
Who said we all lose weight the same way?
Nobody. Because even if we know that by cutting 3,500 calories we will lose about half a kilo, in practice the weight loss is never linear .

THE REASONS WHY DIET DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK

Already around 2010, therefore about ten years ago, a group of scientists was called to discuss the validity of the calorie system for losing weight. The result was the creation of a special algorithm that took into account not only the calories saved, but some conditions such as: the duration of the diet, the type of diet, the initial state of health of the subject, if he had done previous diets, etc.

In 2017, a study tried to answer the following question: Is the concept of calories in weight loss reliable? In the study, the researchers stated the following .

Dietary guidelines commonly suggest that the calorie deficit must be between 500 and 750 kcal per day for an adult to lose weight. This value is based on the “3500 kcal rule”, also known as the “Wishnofsky rule”, which is still used as the basis for some nutritional guidelines, publications and textbooks, despite its inaccuracy and very limited effectiveness. The recommended deficit tacitly assumes “that a calorie is a calorie” regardless of its source, thus ignoring the second rule of thermodynamics. If you consider the different values ​​of catabolism-induced thermogenesis for each macronutrient, “a calorie is a calorie” may no longer be true, but probably many in the general population and even some nutrition professionals are unaware. Consequently,

So how do we know if it’s worth the risk?
Here are some indubitable signs that will make you understand if the diet you have chosen will also work for you.
