Keto diet
The keto diet focuses on high-fat, low-carb eating to induce ketosis, a metabolic state where the body burns fat for fuel. This plan typically includes foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and non-starchy vegetables while avoiding grains, sugars, and high-carb fruits.
Intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting. Popular methods include the 16/8 method (fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window) and the 5:2 method (eating normally for 5 days and restricting calorie intake for 2 days).
Plant-based diet
A plant-based diet emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods derived from plants. This includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. It can be effective for weight loss due to its high fiber content and lower calorie density.
Low-carb diet
Low-carb diets restrict the intake of carbohydrates, often focusing on protein and healthy fats. This can lead to reduced appetite and weight loss. Popular low-carb diets include the Atkins diet and the South Beach diet.
