Why Free Diet Plans from Influencers May Not Work for You

 Why Free Diet Plans from Influencers May Not Work for You?


1. One Size Does Not Fit All

Influencers often share generic diet plans that may work for them or a specific audience. However, each person's body type, metabolism, health conditions, and lifestyle are unique, requiring a personalized approach that generic plans lack.



2. Lack of Personal Assessment

A diet that works for someone else may worsen your health if you have underlying issues like hypothyroidism, PCOD, or digestive problems. Influencers don’t consider individual medical histories, making their advice potentially ineffective or harmful.



3. Short-Term Focus

Many free plans focus on quick fixes like rapid weight loss or detox, which might not address the root cause of your issues. Sustainable health requires long-term lifestyle changes, not temporary measures.



4. Unrealistic Expectations

Influencer diets often set unrealistic goals, leading to disappointment and a sense of failure when you can’t achieve the same results. This demotivation can harm your mental and physical well-being.



5. Lack of Accountability and Guidance

A free plan doesn’t include ongoing support or modifications based on your progress. Without guidance, it’s easy to lose track, give up, or unknowingly follow unhealthy practices.



6. Ignoring Food Preferences and Culture

These plans rarely align with your taste, preferences, or cultural eating habits, making them hard to stick to. A sustainable diet should integrate seamlessly into your lifestyle.



7. Potential Nutritional Imbalance

Influencer diets often eliminate or overemphasize specific food groups, leading to deficiencies or overconsumption of certain nutrients, which can harm your health in the long run.




What You Need Instead


A diet tailored to your body's needs, lifestyle, and goals.


Professional guidance from a certified dietitian or healthcare provider.


Long-term solutions that focus on balance, nourishment, and overall well-being.


Realistic, practical advice that you can sustain.



Free diet plans might seem appealing, but investing in a personalized approach is key to achieving real, lasting health benefits!!!

How to know hair follicles are active or not?

 Many men during online consultation used to ask me  " How will I know, if my hair follicle is active or not? " Here are a few ways 👇 Observe Hair Growth: If you see fine, short hair (vellus hair) or longer, thicker hair (terminal hair) in the area, follicles are active. However, if the area is smooth and shiny without any hair growth, the follicles may be inactive. Examine Scalp Health: A healthy scalp, with adequate hydration and minimal flakiness, is more likely to support active follicles. Redness, inflammation, or excessive dryness can indicate issues affecting follicle activity. Check for Signs of Miniaturization: When follicles are active but weakened, they may produce thinner, shorter hairs. This process, known as follicular miniaturization, is often a sign of conditions like androgenic alopecia. Pull Test: Gently tug on a small section of hair. If more than a few strands come out, this may suggest shedding due to issues affecting follicle health, but it doesn’t ...

  Why Bread for Breakfast Could Be Sabotaging Your Health"🙄 A patient came to me five years ago complaining of back pain after his wife had been away for five days. He had been surviving on plain bread three times a day due to his desk job. As a doctor, I could easily see that his poor food choices had contributed to his discomfort." Bread, particularly refined white bread, can negatively impact digestion, energy levels, and overall health when consumed regularly, especially in the morning when the body needs nourishing and easily digestible foods to fuel the day. From an Ayurvedic standpoint, breakfast should support agni (digestive fire), which is not yet fully active in the morning after a night of rest. Consuming bread, especially with butter or jam, can overload the digestive system, as it is heavy and difficult to digest. This can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which Ayurveda identifies as the root cause of many diseases. Refined bread, in particular, i...
