Dieting does not particularly mean starving oneself; it’s a definite plan of eating that varies from person to person depending upon their bodies, needs plus reasons.
Although diets are not something one can easily stick to as the craving-monsters make it hard to resist all the yummilicious food out there. But if you have made up your mind, they make sure you just don’t jump on any latest diet bandwagon. Consult your doctor/dietician, know all about the diet you are planning to follow and then go ahead.
Here we have brought you the top 5 diets trending this year.
1. Ketogenic diet
Looks like this diet is here to stay. Keto is all about eating food that’s high in fat, moderate to low in protein, and very low in carbohydrate. In this high-fat low-carb diet, the body is forced into a state of ketosis, which means it burns fat instead of carbohydrates for fuel. Your food must include good fat like coconut oil, nuts, full-fat dairy, saturated and monounsaturated fats and proteins that are found in fish, eggs, and meat.
2. Intermittent Fasting
In this diet, you need to cycle between the periods of eating and fasting. It’s also called the 16/8 plan, that means your eating period is 8 hours post which you have to eat nothing for the next 16 hours. It doesn’t require the restriction of any specific foods and this diet is used for weight loss, decrease insulin resistance, improve metabolic health, protect against disease, and possibly increase longevity.
3. Plant Proteins
With the increasing number of people turning into vegans, this plant-centered diet is becoming quite popular. Shutting out the animal products completely or gradually including meat, milk and milk-made products it focuses more on in taking proteins from the plants with foods like bean pasta and soy, tofu, avocado, kale, quinoa, greens, rainbow carrots, beets, and amaranth, etc.
