An unhealthy, muscular person with vitamin deficits and potential long-term health problems has been produced by self-made diet regimens. A case study detailing DIY (do it yourself) diets and supplement regimens that greatly surpassed the recommended daily intake level among athletes was published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. These eating practices frequently result in an excess of some macro- and/or micronutrients, putting athletes at risk for health problems.
Many people adopt diet habits they learn from publications, workout partners, or online bodybuilding sites. They start programs without taking into account potential negative health repercussions.
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all regimen when it comes to health, fitness, and nutrition. Regrettably, the general public tends to follow what has been successful for others and frequently adopts the maxim “more is better”.
The DIY nutrition plan’s main offenders appear to be more protein and supplements. Any personal investigation into the greatest nutritional strategies is overshadowed by the need to keep lean muscles.The article “The hazards of self-made diets: the case of an amateur bodybuilder” clarifies this crucial and contentious topic. The study’s goal was to explore the long-term health implications of this repetitive practice, focusing in particular on its unfavorable gastrointestinal repercussions.
Athletes’ reasons for supplement overconsumption, according to a case study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, were “the desired gain in muscle mass and the satisfaction of micronutrient requirements.” Athletes thought that because they were practicing for high-performance, they needed more nutrition.
