Can one-size fit all for diet and exercise?
Do you have a favorite athlete or action star? You watch in awe as they dominate the field or bust through a door to save the day at the last minute. Then, when you see someone post their workout or diet, you immediately think “I’m going to eat, train, and look just like them!” Well, unfortunately, that plan can backfire big time.
There is no perfect diet for everyone. There are no special fruits or exercises that, when added in the same amount to everyone’s diet and exercise plan, will garner the perfect outcome. It is much more nuanced than that. Imagine you are giving directions to a nice vacation home to people who live all around the world. Would you give the same directions to everyone? No. You would look at where they are starting and recommend different modes of travel so they can reach the destination safely and in a timely manner. The same must happen for diet and exercise.
A well-seasoned athlete or action star will have different experience, muscle mass, activity, and a plethora of other variables that will make their needs different from yours. For example, Michael Phelps famously ate 10,000 calories while training for the Olympics while staying very lean. However, if the average person ate 10,000 calories, they would end up gaining an incredible amount of fat.
This doesn’t just apply to diet, either! For instance, barbell squats are an excellent exercise to build quad, hamstring, and glute strength. Yet, some people may have injuries or lack the equipment/confidence to perform the exercise. Does this mean that they can’t build a strong lower body? Or that they should “push through the pain”? Absolutely not! The perfect diet and exercise plan is one that you can follow safely and effectively to reach your goal. There is no one best approach for anyone.
