Ketogenic Diet
Ketogenic Diet Despite being one of the top searched diets of 2016, the ketogenic diet wasn't one of U.S. News' best 38 diets of the year. It's an extremely low-carb diet, high-fat diet that was originally developed to treat epilepsy. You'll also limit proteins. The fad diet is a "sustainable form of fasting," Gary Yellen, a Harvard Medical School professor, told TIME. Since your body typically relies on carbs for fuel and you won't be taking any in, you'll be eating healthy fats for energy. Research does suggest that it works to treat obesity. According to Today, a sample menu for the popular diet might include eggs with olive oil and avocado for breakfast, leafy greens, salmons, nuts and olive oil for lunch, and steak, greens and more oil for dinner. Ask a doctor or dietician before taking this one on.
