Every body (the one you LIVE in) and every person is unique and different. So are the dietary needs of each person. What works well for one person might not work at all for another. Fad diets aren't one size fits all, either. Instead, it's a game of trial and error for most.
Every person has sensitivities and intolerances to certain foods, even if they aren't aware of it. The only way to know for certain is to be tested for food allergies or to try the process of elimination. The latter is what has worked for me.
I had been struggling for a long time just to lose five pounds and keep it off. I thought that staying under a daily caloric goal and exercise were enough, but I was wrong. My path crossed with that of a nutritionist who has changed my life.
After doing a week-long detox, I lost five pounds. Finally, success! The next phase was to add certain foods back into my diet with the exception of gluten and grains. It's still working. I'm losing at a consistent rate and I couldn't be happier.
It took over two years to reach this point, and although I wish it had happened sooner, I've learned a very valuable lesson along the way.
Every body and person is different. Listen to what your body is telling you. It's talking to you every day, letting you know what it needs. Consider the common foods that cause allergic or inflammatory reactions. Do you think one of those could be the culprit? Take inventory of the foods you eat regularly and how you feel after consuming them. The process of elimination might help you tweak that. If you're still stumped, see a nutritionist. It just might change, or save, your life.
