Is There Such a Thing as "The Perfect Diet"?


Listen Later

Does a perfect diet exist? Some of the most popular diets to follow today include paleo, keto, and carnivore. While any one of these diets might make you feel good for a few weeks or months, variety is the key to eating in a way that fully supports a well-functioning body.

Being on any specific diet for a long time has the potential to help you lose weight. Many lead to a natural reduction in calories by emphasizing whole foods. Stable and improved blood sugar levels are also a common outcome from reducing processed carbs. Reduced inflammation is another benefit of following a specific diet.

Genetic individuality can also influence how any one diet impacts you specifically. One negative outcome, specifically those with an emphasis on high protein, can put a strain on your kidneys. Another downside might be inadequate fiber intake from excluding foods like grains and legumes.

Knowing there are pros and cons to each diet, how do you choose which one is best? The truth is there's no such thing as a perfect diet—but there may be a perfect diet for you. While you're exploring your options, here are a few things to look for: adequate nutrients, a focus on whole foods, balanced macronutrients, and controlled portions.

Even the perfect diet should allow for the occasional treat. Balance is the key to maintaining a strong diet long-term. Whatever diet you choose, it should be sustainable and support your health goals, whether that's weight loss, autoimmune disease, or blood sugar balance.
