If you're ready to put time and effort into a diet, it's necessary to know the #1 diet of 2024.
The overall winner for 2024 is the Mediterranean diet, according to 2024 edition of U.S. News & World Report's Best Diets rankings.
The Mediterranean diet is really more a lifestyle approach than a diet.
The hallmarks of a best diet include balance, maintainability, palatability, family-friendliness, sustainability, along with healthfulness.
The MedDiet shines a spotlight on healthy foods, it's flexible, it's tasty, and it doesn't completely cut out certain foods or groups.
The Mediterranean diet also earns the top spot for easiest diet, healthiest diet, best for heart health, best for diabetes management, and best for bone and joint health.
Numerous studies have found the Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of diabetes, high cholesterol, dementia, memory loss, depression, and breast cancer.

“ Vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, whole grains, and some healthy fats like nuts and olive oil should form the foundation of every meal. At least two times a week, add seafood. Finally, allow for a moderate amount of dairy, eggs, and poultry each week. Treat red meat and sweets as an occasional treat, and you're set for life."
