The diet must serve our lives, our needs, and take into account our psychology as well, so that we can adhere to it. It must be enjoyable, serve your goal, and be appropriate with your lifestyle. It must include moderation in food and the meals you like, whatever they may be, and get used to healthy habits, because healthy habits are what continue with you throughout life.
