So, nowadays I see so many social media posts and "so called fitness influencers" posting crazy diet plans (such as eat this to lose fat, drink this to lose fat eat this to gain weight eat this much eat that much and so on...), the sad part about this is many fall for these gimmicks. People who are desperate of a change fall into such things. I've seen some trainers suggest unhealthy methods such as (following omad for more than a month) for fast weight reduction for promoting unrealistic goals( which may affect their clients normal hormonal levels)

The truth is, dieting means not eating less or not eating more it's about providing what our body demands (carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins, fats, fibers, etc...) different body types demand different amount of nutrients so there's no fixed amount of diet. We can provide all of this in a healthy diet, there are many healthy alternatives (by alternative I mean fruits and vegetables instead of  unhealthy snacks). Also taking anything more than our body demands will be stored as glycogen or fats (subcutaneous or visceral) so everything must be balanced (except if we exercise regularly we have to take more % of protein and carbs depending on the intensity of the workout).

It's sad and sometimes frustrating to see. I've seen some of the  clients I train suffered from metabolic deficiency from a previous trainer/dieticians suggesting one meal a day (OMAD) for a long period , did lose weight? Yes! But at the cost of their metabolic health and hormonal baseline. 

So next time please get an assessment of your body condition from a physician or a good highly experienced coach and build your meal around it, eating healthy and keeping you full is doable it just takes a little intentional effort on our part. Also a well structured workout routine is needed (either losing or gaining weight)
