Caloric diet and recommendations: Macro nutrient needs based upon body shape
Dieting may not be effective because there is an assumption that everyone has same caloric needs and that restricting ca-
loric intake is universal for everyone. One factor that influences the effectiveness of caloric restriction and dieting is the
differences in body shapes. For example, few body shapes, such as apple shape, are insulin sensitive and higher carbohydrate
consumption can lead to increased weight gain, even while dieting. Another factor has been the increase in process foods, in-
cluding diet foods as well as a change in the food pyramid since the 1970’s to increase the intake of carbohydrates. The increase
in carbohydrate consumption has led to an increase of chronic inflammation within the body. This increase in inflammation is
a primary cause of most illness, disease, faster aging and weight gain/obesity.
