Pros and Cons of The Geno Type Diet Plan

The Geno Type Diet Plan is one of the most revolutionary diet plans. Dietitians and nutrition experts studied the diet plan closely and came up with following observations.

Pros

  • The diet plan has very positive outlook and is capable of providing individual and custom made benefits. Unlike other diet plans, which remain same for everyone, irrespective of the symptoms of dieters, The Geno Type diet plan understands your body first and then designs your diet plan. This unique feature adds a lot of value to the diet plan.
  • Exercises have been given as much importance as have been given to food items. Harmony between diet and exercise is capable of bringing spectacular changes in your body.
  • The Geno Type Diet plan has around 11000 mouth-watering and simple to prepare recipes. The diet plan provides adequate guidance and support.

Cons

  • Though there are enough scientific proofs supporting the claim of link between genes and diet, but whether food items in Geno Type Diet Plan are able to activate good genes or not, doesn’t have any scientific support.
  • Peter’s claim of bringing happiness in the life of dieters along-with health and weight-loss looks like exaggerated claims, which most of the diet plans do.
  • Short term weight loss can be obtained by using the diet plan, because exercises have also been recommended with diet, but long term weight loss have not been observed in people adhering to the diet plan.
  • The diet plan is based on arbitrary theories rather than well-supported scientific facts and principles. There are many controversial food items recommended for various geno types, which should not have been there.
