The best diets for weight loss include low-calorie diets, Mediterranean diets, DASH diets, and intermittent fasting. Low-calorie diets involve eating fewer calories than your body needs and increasing physical activity in order to burn more calories. Mediterranean diets focus on consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds while limiting intake of red meats, processed foods, and sweets. DASH diets emphasize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins while restricting sodium, added sugars, and saturated fats. Intermittent fasting involves alternating between periods of fasting and non-fasting days.
