Here are several types of diets that are most effective in losing weight, according to Medicine Net.
1. Intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting is a diet strategy that involves periods of eating and fasting. The most popular IF fasting methods are the 16:8 and 5:2 methods.
The 16:8 method means they fast for 16 hours and limit eating time to 8 hours a day. Meanwhile, the 5:2 method is done by consuming 500-600 calories for 2 days a week.
Even though it is claimed to be effective, it is important for you to avoid eating too much during the meal period.

For many years, the Mediterranean diet was considered the best diet. This diet invites a person to consume nuts, seeds, fish, olive oil more often, and less meat, dairy products and wine.
The Mediterranean diet has a number of other benefits such as overcoming inflammation, oxidative stress, lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, regulating blood sugar levels, and treating Alzheimer’s disease.
3. DASH Diet
This diet is specifically recommended to help people with hypertension. DASH diet foods include fruits, vegetables, fat-free dairy products, whole grains, and lean meats.
The DASH diet invites someone to reduce consumption of processed foods such as sugary drinks and packaged snacks. This diet also limits red meat intake.
4. Low carbohydrate diet

This diet focuses on limiting carbohydrate intake and prioritizing protein and healthy fats. This diet suggests 30-50 percent of daily calories come from protein.
Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel. However, when following this diet, the body will burn fat to get energy. This condition is called ketosis.
Ketosis occurs when fat is broken down into ketones, which are a byproduct of fat metabolism.
Unfortunately, this diet has side effects that need to be considered such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and constipation.
Meanwhile, a body experiencing ketosis can experience nausea, mental fatigue, bad breath, headaches, and flu.
5. Paleo Diet
The Paleo diet is based on the theory that you should eat the same foods as your ancestors during the Paleolithic era.
This diet consumes meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and oils such as olive oil or walnut oil.
The Paleo diet can help with weight loss, improved glucose tolerance, blood pressure regulation, and better appetite management.
However, it is better to consult with a doctor first to find out the most effective diet method for losing weight.
