Best Diet Plans for Your Overall Health
Types of diets—which works and which don’t?
Trends have introduced so many types of diets—keto, vegan, Mediterranean, etc. to stay fit and healthy. you might know each diet trend’s benefits but are you aware of its drawbacks? Yes, each one has its own sort of downsides which you know before altering your eating habit. Let us discuss each diet type along with their benefit and downside.
1. Vegan
This diet excludes all animal-based products including dairy products, honey, and eggs. Following a vegan diet is considered the best diet for loss weight and offers other benefits including:
- High fiber.
- Low cholesterol.
- Lower inflammation.
- Eliminates obesity and chronic diseases.
- Less risk of heart-related diseases.
Downsides:
- Low level of B12 (increases risk of depression and heart stroke).
- Expensive.
- Time-consuming cooking.
- Every vegan food is not necessarily healthy. For example, Oreos and pop-tarts are considered vegan but many health experts don’t recommend people eat much of them.
Bottomline
You can improve your health by eating plant-based foods. You can speak to your doctor about taking protein and supplements to prevent any sort of nutritional deficit. Research shows massive benefits from a vegan diet. However, following this diet would be difficult for people who grew up eating dairy products and meat. You can even try exercise to lose weight.
2. Intermittent fasting
The key focus of intermittent fasting is when to eat, it is one of the best diets to lose weight. It includes fasting and eating in alternative periods repeatedly. Some people follow eating only once in six or eight hours every day and some eat one meal for a few days a week. In this diet, drinking enough water is encouraged to avoid dehydration.
Benefits:

Bottomline
The intermittent fasting diet is not for you if you suffer from an eating disorder because it causes starving, binging, and over-restricting food consumption. But if you follow it correctly, it is the best diet to lose weight and reduce the risk of chronic disease.
3. Keto
The key goal of the keto diet is pushing the body to ketosis, which means burning fuel and fat instead of carbohydrates. The keto diet replaces carbohydrates with nuts, seeds, and avocados. However, people who follow this diet often end up consuming saturated fats such as red meat, cheese, oil, and butter.
Benefits:

5. Mediterranean diet

The Mediterranean diet includes vegetables, fruits, seeds, lean meats (fish and poultry), grains, beans, nuts, and potatoes. This diet restricts dairy products, sweets, and red meat. Olive oil is the key source of fat. This diet also encourages people to lead a life full of physical activity.

7. Sirtfood diet
The sirtfood diet is one of the latest food trends that focuses on the intake of sirtuin-rich food such as green juices, blueberries, matcha, and red wine. This newest eating pattern is gaining a lot of popularity, it is high in polyphenols which is an advantageous composite found in plants. It helps in boosting mood and metabolism. This diet also aids in losing weight and increasing energy. Sirt foods comprise dark chocolate, citrus fruits, kale, turmeric, apples, green tea, and blueberries. If you opt for this diet, you will follow it in two phases. In the first phase, you will have one sirtfood meal with three green juices in a day. The second phase includes having 3 sirtfood meals in a day with only one glass of green juice.

8. Potato diet
The potato diet is just eating potatoes with light flavors. This type of diet restricts sour cream, butter, cheese, and bacon. Except potatoes eat nothing, that is what this eating plan says. According to the book ‘’Potato Hack: Weight Loss Simplified’’ which was released back in 2016 says that potatoes not only toughen the immune system but also offer energy while losing weight. Potatoes are a rich source of getting nutrients but many wonder how merely consuming them helps in losing weight. A person opting for this dietary plan should follow the rules extremely restrictively.
Benefits:
- Filled with essential nutrients like vitamin C, healthy carbs, fiber, and potassium.
- Good for short-term weight loss plans.
- Affordable diet plan.
- Rich in fiber and nutrition to keep you energized in the weight loss journey.
Downside:
- Eliminating all food from the diet leads to an insufficiency of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fats that bones, the immune system, and muscles require to stay healthy.
- Difficult to follow.
- Restrictive dieting leads to unhealthy eating behaviors like binge eating.
- Merely eating potatoes cannot meet all the essential nutrients that a body requires.
Bottomline
Even if this diet needs to be followed for 3-4 days, you will definitely suffer a lack of nutrients in your body. If you have seen any celebrity following the potato diet then we strongly recommend not following this eating plan. This is because the long-term health risks are way bigger than losing weight for a short duration.
9. Paleo diet
The paleolithic or paleo diet is based on the hunter-gatherer era that focuses on eating fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, and lean meats. This type of diet restricts foods that were unavailable before industrial farming like legumes, sugar, processed food, grains, and dairy. This diet’s name happened to be paleo because it is the same food group that humans ate ages (in the paleolithic era) ago. It is believed that following this diet minimizes the lifestyle illnesses such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
Benefits:
- Prevents heart disease, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
- Helps in losing weight.
- Lowers intake of highly processed food like candy and chips.
- Minimize blood pressure.
- Make you feel fuller for a long duration.
Downsides:
- This diet is too restrictive which makes it difficult to follow for long.
- People opting for this eating plan miss out on fiber, legume vitamins, whole grains, vitamins, and protein from dairy and plant-based milk substitutes.
10. Mind diet
When you combine the DASH diet with a Mediterranean eating plan, you get the mind diet that majorly focuses on brain health. This type of eating plan is aimed to prevent the likely non-functioning of the brain and dementia. Mind diet contains flavonoids, vitamins, and carotenoids that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
Benefits:
- Lower blood pressure and heart-related risks.

- Food groups are difficult to find and even afford.
Bottomline
DASH and Mediterranean diets are considered the healthiest eating plans according to research. Following the combination of these two types of diets will bring healthy results. You can considerably lower the risk of illnesses associated with the brain.
Parting thoughts
Whenever you consider opting for a new eating plan, identify why you are considering this change in your diet. This is because whenever you start a diet plan it is normal to slip back into old eating habits and this goal of altering your diet will help you stay firm. For example, if you want to lose weight ask yourself—why do I want to do it? Just for looking thin or due to a health reason. Whatever your purpose is, you need to identify it because it will help you a lot in following your new dietary plan uninterruptedly. Once you know your solid objective, pick the right diet plan that help you realize your health objective this year!

- Fresh blackberries, lime juice, cilantro, sea salt, and honey
Recipe
To start, prepare your glass by rubbing honey around the rim and then sprinkling coarse sea salt on it. Combine the tequila, Cointreau, simple syrup, eight fresh blackberries, one lime juice, and six to eight fresh cilantro sprigs in a shaker. Crush the blackberries with a muddler until they are all combined into one giant mushy mass and added to the shaker. Add ice, then shake vigorously! Put ice in your glass after straining your beverage. You can now prepare to serve it by adding a lime!
The Siesta

Ingredients
- Silver tequila, 60 ml
- Campari, 15 ml
- Fresh lime juice, 15 ml
- fresh grapefruit juice, 7 ml
- 3.7 ml of simple syrup
- Slice of grapefruit peel for the garnish
Recipe
All components should be added to an ice-filled shaker. After a thorough shake, pour into a cocktail glass. Slice of grapefruit peel as garnish.
