American researchers have studied more than thirty diets. And this, they say, is the best diet in the world. Not only do you lose weight easily, it is also very healthy.
The best diet in the world has been the Mediterranean diet for years. And this time too, this diet emerged as the most healthy. But for those who are curious, we also list the top three and the three least healthy diets.
For years, the Mediterranean diet has been in the top three. a diet with lots of fresh fruit, lots of fresh vegetables, olive oil, beans, grains and fish.
2. DASH diet
The DASH diet was once developed to combat high blood pressure (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and turned out to be very good for getting rid of fat reserves in a healthy way. A diet high in potassium, calcium, protein and fiber. Lots of fruit, vegetables, grains, proteins without too much fat, little saturated fat and very little sugar.
3. The flexitarian diet
A flexible vegetarian diet. Mainly plant-based, but with the occasional piece of fish or meat.
According to the researchers, a very limited diet that is difficult to maintain. But popular with followers because you lose a lot in the first week with very few calories and a lot of protein.
2. Keto/Gaps
The keto diet has such a loyal following that they are probably not happy with the fact that this low-carb, high-protein diet dangles at the bottom of the list. Consolation is that it shares that place with the Gaps diet. Gaps is an abbreviation for Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet. A diet that emphasizes gut health and, as a result, a healthy mood. Designed by a Russian doctor. The diet consists of many foods that ensure that your intestines become healthy again. Fermented vegetables, fish, meat and vegetables are preferably all organic. Sounds healthy, but according to US News it cuts out many important foods and is a lot of work.
3. Whole 30 Diet
The Whole 30 diet is not described by the makers as a diet, but as a new way of eating. And you start by avoiding sugar, alcohol, grains, dairy products and beans for 30 days. Although you will certainly lose weight with this, the researchers find it a disadvantage that you must be extremely motivated to keep it up.
