The worst diets to stay away from
1. Carnivorous diet
is a diet that has gained a lot of popularity in recent years and it will no doubt stay with us for the coming year as well.
It mainly includes meat, fish and cheeses, while avoiding carbohydrates as much as possible or at least significantly reducing them.
But if you ask Emmy Gorin, a nutritionist at New York University, you might want to consider other ways to maintain weight, ones that won't be so extreme.
"Not only does such a diet contain high amounts of saturated fat that can raise cholesterol levels in the body and put you at risk for various diseases," she explains.
"In addition, it requires you to give up a lot of foods that are really good for you like fruits and vegetables that actually contribute a lot to maintaining weight."

2. Whole30 diet
On paper, this seems to be an absolutely successful diet.
She calls for avoiding processed and industrialized food, and opting for fresh foods and those prepared at home such as dishes based on fruits and vegetables, stews, soups, stews and more.
There is a lot of logic behind this perception and indeed the diet may be good for health, but its main problem, according to experts in the field, is the difficulty in sticking to it.
Ann Mooney, a clinical dietitian from Washington in the United States, explains that the diet was designed at its base as a challenge for only thirty days and the data show that when this period ends, people usually return to their old habits without producing real dietary changes.
"If you can't stick to a diet for more than 30 days then what's the point of it?"
She asks and emphasizes that many people feel ‘failure’ when they fail to meet it and therefore give it up at one point or another.

3. The Atkins
diet is a diet developed by Dr. Robert Atkins and is based, like the carnivorous diet, on almost complete exclusion of carbohydrates from the menu. .
Dr. Atkins believed that a person does not need nearly carbohydrate we consume today, but most doctors and experts in the field and oppose this diet claim that it is dangerous.
The World Health Organization has even issued a warning against the diet, which has even been dubbed by the American Medical Association as "dangerous nutritional insanity."
The successful diets worth adopting this year
1. Flexitarian
Many people think that diet must be an extreme regime - but this is exactly why many of them simply fail.
When we struggle to get whole groups of foods out of our lives, we spend too much time in longing and also, sometimes, give up important things that actually do contribute to us.
The key to success, it seems, is to reduce foods that are harmful to us, but not give them up completely.
This diet is a great example of this - it calls for eating animal foods in small amounts - such as fish, chicken and beef, and at the same time increasing the consumption of plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains.
A review of 25 studies on this diet found that the diet, which is also defined as semi-vegetarian, helped people not only maintain a healthy weight, but also lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
Plus, it's easier to stick to because it does not feel like complete abstinence from things we definitely enjoy.

2. Conscious eating
is a concept that is considered by many to be an "anti-diet" because its message is the opposite of that of any other diet you are familiar with. The experts who recommend the method call simply to listen to the body - provide him with the foods he asks for, eat only when hungry and stop when seventy. It may sound simple, but it requires the development of awareness and attention to the body, just like in meditation.
A review that examined data from a series of studies on this method, found that it definitely helps people maintain a healthy weight over time and also improve metrics like blood pressure and cholesterol. And if that was not enough, subjects in these studies reported a reduction in depressive and anxiety symptoms and an increase in self-confidence as a result of this change. So how do you do that? Here are some tips to help you get started.
3. Mediterranean diet
In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the diet of people in the Mediterranean basin - that is, our neighbors in Greece, Italy and Spain - and found that people living in these areas suffer less from heart disease, obesity and excess cholesterol.
The reason for this, the researchers found, is a diet based mainly on good fats such as olive oil, nuts, avocados and tahini, as well as an abundance of vegetables, fruits and legumes. This menu includes lots of sea fish and moderate consumption of chicken. Alcohol lovers will also be happy to find that the menu even allows drinking red wine every day, which is known for its health benefits if drunk in moderation. Last year the Ministry of Health even issued a recommendation to stick to this menu thanks to its great effectiveness in improving health in a wide range of aspects.
