Keto diet
The keto diet focuses on high-fat, low-carb eating to induce a state of ketosis, where the body burns fat for fuel. It typically includes foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, and non-starchy vegetables.
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 calories 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 and nutrient content.
Low-carb diet
Low-carb diets restrict the intake of carbohydrates, often focusing on protein, healthy fats, and non-starchy vegetables. This can lead to reduced appetite and weight loss, as well as improvements in blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity.
