Between Weight Watchers diet, keto diet, Mediterranean diet, becoming vegetarian, vegan, etc. We are always told about the latest fashionable diet, without necessarily explaining which one works and why it would be interesting for us to follow it in particular, in order to avoid the Yo-Yo effect, which is almost inevitable with diets.
We now know that it is better to readjust your diet over time rather than testing all the diets, but depending on the diet chosen, some may be healthier than others, and easier to stick with over time, in order to lose weight while staying healthy.
Every year, US News a ranking of diets comes out, and a panel of health and nutrition experts ranked the Keto diet last, declaring it to be the least healthy diet . Taking into account factors such as short and long term effectiveness on weight loss, ease of following the diet or simply whether it is healthy or not.
But since the keto diet is a low carb diet, some people can indeed lose a lot of weight very quickly, but it has an extremely restrictive effect that is hard to keep on the long term. Once you crack, it's over.
Extremely rapid weight loss is therefore the only positive effect of this diet, unhealthy on all other levels, but this weight loss can turn into a much greater recovery if you go back to eating "normally".
The Mediterranean Diet , he was ranked first by the experts, since there is a low content of red meat, sugar and saturated fats, but rather healthy products. The advantage of the Mediterranean diet is also that it is more flexible and therefore easier to follow since it adapts to different lifestyles.
The goal of this diet is simple:have fruits and vegetables fill half your plate, with the other half divided between grains, protein, and a small amount of good fat. Simple, right?
The vegetarian diet is ninth overall and the vegan diet is seventeenth. Intermittent fasting and the paleo diet come in 27th and 30th place respectively in the overall rankings…
