Different types of diets
There are many different sorts of diets, and people should choose one that best suits their goals. A diet designed to help you gain weight is not the same as one designed to help you lose weight. When starting a diet, many variables should be considered. Before starting any diet, people should speak with a doctor or a dietician (a person who provides medical advice on food and health issues).
Whatever the outcome, the goal of a healthy diet should be long-term health rather than immediate results. It is healthier to lose or gain weight gradually rather than quickly. Healthy diets should adhere to MyPlate's recommendations. Balance, variety, and moderation should all be present. This means it should include items from all of the basic dietary groups. Fat, salt, and sugar-rich foods should be consumed in moderation (Harmon, 2020)
Fad diets
Not all diets are regarded to be healthy. Fad diets are what they're called. Fad diets are commonly used to lose weight quickly. People who follow these diets frequently only see short-term results and gain weight back once they resume their normal eating habits. Fad diets can be very unhealthy. They usually restrict what a person eats and involve eating very low-calorie foods instead of a balance of all foods. These diets can make a person sick because they do not provide the body with the nutrients it needs to function. Some examples of fad diets include the cabbage soup diet, which advises people to eat mostly cabbage soup for a week to lose weight. Another is the Atkins diet, which advises people to eat foods low in carbohydrates and high in fat. Fasting and detox diets are other types of fad diets. These involve either restricting or cutting out certain foods (such as grains or dairy) to cleanse the body of harmful toxins. No scientific evidence exists that supports the claims made by fasting and detox diets.
An example of a very popular Fad diet would be the keto diet. The goal of a ketogenic diet is to induce ketosis in the body by following a very low-carb diet. Although the ratios of fat, protein, and carbs, as well as other unique elements of each diet (e.g. 'phases'), might vary, this umbrella phrase can include diets like the Atkins diet, Dukan diet, and LCHF (low carb, high fat) diets like the banting diet.
High-fat meats, fish, oils, nuts, high-fat dairy like cheese, and low-carb vegetables like leafy greens are all commonly permitted. Obviously, cutting carbs means avoiding bread, pasta, rice, and most traditional baked items. To achieve such low carbohydrate levels, however, you must exclude legumes, root vegetables, most fruits, and starchy vegetables like potatoes.
