Why You Should Pick a Personalized Weight Loss Plan Over a Generic One

A commercial break can often bring up yet another generic diet plan that promises significant yet sustainable weight loss. Just count these points. Just walk on this machine. Just eat these specific meals. Just take these pills. It’s enough to drive you crazy and distrust any diet approach! However, working with a medical team to create your own personalized weight loss plan can end with real results. How does this individualized approach make a difference? Keep reading to find out!

Personalization Considers Your Unique Body.

Most humans have the same body parts, but their bodies don’t always work the exact same way or face the same issues. Depending on the following, a generic weight loss plan assumes that the only things that need to change are your diet and exercise regimen. In reality, your weight gain may depend on your hormone balance, thyroid function, medications you take, the speed of your metabolism, and insulin resistance. When you put together a personalized plan, you can focus on the main concerns and goals for you.

Personalization Gives You Accountability.

When you print out a PDF on the internet or sign up for an automated email newsletter, you are left to fight against your weight alone. The PDF won’t know or help motivate you to stick to your plan, but a person can help you stay on track—not because they will shame you, but because they can offer additional tips, motivation, and accountability.

Personalization Works with Your Lifestyle and Needs.

While certain habits are easy to implement into one person’s lifestyle, others can present a challenge. Perhaps you follow a specific routine, so a few habits are hard to break, or maybe your work schedule makes traditional exercise difficult to fit in.

An evaluation and discussion with your medical team can determine ways you can more easily integrate healthier habits without having to completely change your way of life. These simpler updates are feasible, which can give you more confidence and motivation to continue progressing in the right direction.

Personalization Can Address the Many Causes of Weight Gain.

One of the most frustrating scenarios in generic weight loss plans is a person who consistently has a healthy diet, exercises regularly, but loses few, if any, pounds. However, a personalized weight loss plan takes other factors into account, such as your sleep, hormone and stress levels, busy schedules, holidays or travel, budgets, and other variables. A personalized plan is flexible and more understanding of the fluctuation in motivation and consistency. In other words, you can get back on track much more easily with the compassion you get from a medical team with a personalized plan just for you.

Instead of approaching weight loss from the delusional perspective that weight loss only depends on food and exercise and that everyone should do exactly the same things, you can come to weight loss with a partner who has an open mind, compassion, and more awareness of other potential causes. Together, you can figure out what habits to develop, which insights can lead to lasting and healthy weight management.
