The differences between us change everything, from how we digest food to how we recover from exercise. In "You Are Not Normal: Here's Why", I discussed how individual differences affect how well a training plan works. A program tailored to your strengths and weaknesses is what will work best for you. This time, we're going to look at how nutrition changes for each of us, and how we can use this information to build a tailored diet plan. So let's take look at a few individual differences that affect how we digest food.
"As you build your individualized nutrition plan, remember that systems interact, and your digestive system is as unique as you are."
Individual physiological differences play an important role in how well diets and training programs work. Basic training programs like Easy Strength and Simple and Sinister will work for the majority of people.
Similarly, basic diets might work for many people who are overweight. But as you approach your goal physique, your nutrition needs to be tailored to you. Someone else's diet might not be the best solution. As you build your individualized nutrition plan, remember that systems interact, and your digestive system is as unique as you are.
