- The objective is to help people find a plan that meets their goals, whether it’s finding the best weight loss diet, the easiest one to follow, or plans for other goals, such as managing diabetes or heart disease
- While the Mediterranean diet ranked first, the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet and the Flexitarian diet tied for second place
Which is the Best Diet
