“If you think of diet more as a lifestyle change, then it will last longer,” says Gans. He also doesn’t recommend a diet that has too strict restrictions because in the end it often makes many people give up.
To choose the best diet for 2025, the Good Housekeeping team consulted nearly 12 nutrition experts. They focus on eating plans that fit your lifestyle and are supported by evidence-based research.
Here are the 5 best diets for 2025:
1. Best diet in general: Mediterranean diet
The Mediterranean diet has been named the best diet in general because it is more like an eating pattern rather than a traditional ‘diet’ that is difficult to follow. Gans explained that this diet emphasizes the intake of a variety of nutritious foods, is balanced, sustainable, and focuses on natural anti-inflammatory foods, with colorful food ingredients.
Nutritionist Marissa Meshulam Karp added that the Mediterranean diet is rich in antioxidants which are important for preventing various chronic diseases. This diet is also suitable for losing weight because it focuses on high fiber intake and reducing consumption of saturated fats and refined carbohydrates.
The Mediterranean diet focuses on the intake of fresh produce, olive oil, fatty fish, nuts, seeds and whole grains. You can read a basic guide to the Mediterranean diet below.
