"What's Your Best Diet For 2018? Experts Rate Them" - Dennis Thompson
Your New Year's resolution diet should be based on a well-balanced eating plan that fits your lifestyle, rather than a weird fad replete with food restrictions. That's according to U.S. News & World Report's best diet rankings for 2018. The two diets that tied for the top spot – the Mediterranean Diet and the DASH Diet – fit that bill because they feature real food and reasonable, flexible guidelines, experts said. Both the DASH and Mediterranean diets allow people the flexibility to choose from a wide variety of healthy foods, so they can eat what best suits them, said Kelly Hogan, MS, RD, CDN, clinical nutrition and wellness manager at the Dubin Breast Center at the Mount Sinai Hospital. "The DASH and Mediterranean diets are not excluding any foods or food groups or restricting anything," Hogan said. "I think that's really important when it comes to how a normal person eats in general." The diets are also both backed by a lot of scientific data that show they can help people lose weight and avoid heart disease and diabetes.
