Popular Fad Diets, Ranked From Best to Worst

Whole30 Diet

The Whole30 is perhaps the most popular fad diet, yet fame does not necessarily mean good results. It scored the last place on U.S. News' report for the second year in a row. The Whole30 diet may attract people because it is to be a lifestyle transformation that claims to even help with medical conditions. There are strict limitations when it comes to sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes, and dairy for thirty days. For those who do not cook their meals, it may be a hard diet to follow. It also does not allow any snacks, not even healthy ones, as the idea is to change the way that people think about food. Many see this diet as a thirty days challenge and feel accomplished by the time they finish. Although there are no proper studies on the Whole30, a survey by the company claims that 96 percent of dieters lost between 6 and 15 pounds. The high side is that there is a sample grocery list for this plan and a variety of online groups, so those who decide to "join the challenge" will not feel alone.
