Losing weight and getting healthy is always an issue to consider. If you're planning to follow a diet in 2019, there's a long list of eating plans to choose from and as always, trendsetters are pushing a number of strategies that promise big results, but don't always deliver. Among the ones that are predicted to have many followers this year, we find Ketogenic diet Paleo + vegan = "pegan" diet Intermittent fasting Eat more plants Practice mindful eating I'll see if I can find the time to return here and introduce each of them a little more detailed along the line.  |

Kathleen Meehan, a registered dietitian nutritionist from Houston, hopes that intuitive eating replaces diets all together. “My hope is that people will begin to recognize the futility of dieting in 2019,” said Meehan, who calls herself a non-diet dietitian.  |

Ketogenic diet The “keto” in a ketogenic diet comes from the fact that it allows the body to produce small fuel molecules called “ketones”. Here are typical foods to enjoy on a ketogenic diet. The numbers are net carbs, i.e. digestible carbs, per 100 grams.13 To remain in ketosis, lower is generally better.  Here’s what you should avoid on a keto diet – carb foods containing a lot of sugar and starch. This includes starchy foods like bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. These foods are very high in carbs. The numbers are grams of net carbs per 100 grams, unless otherwise noted.  |

Why the pegan diet - a hybrid of paleo and vegan - could be the next big thing
In short, a pegan diet incorporates pieces of the paleo and vegan diets.
A vegan diet is refraining from eating all animal products or byproducts - no meat, eggs, cheese, yogurt and sometimes gelatin. A paleo diet is a nutritional plan that mimics how people used to eat in the Paleolithic era 2.5 million years ago. So dieters eat unprocessed foods consisting mostly of vegetables, fruits, nuts, grass-fed meats and fish.
How does pegan differ from vegan and paleo diets?
Although vegan and paleo diets may seem like they're at odds - one advocates for removing dairy, meat and fish while the other encourages eating meat and fish - the root of both of those lifestyles is ultimately the same: eating whole foods and plants.
Liz Josefsberg, a certified personal trainer and nutrition exercise specialist at her own consulting firm and former director of brand advocacy for Weight Watchers, tried the pegan diet for 30 days and said that though she struggled a bit in the beginning, she ended up enjoying the journey and the ultimate results, including losing three kilos with little effort.
"My stomach? Noticeably flatter. My skin? Bright and clear. My cravings for cheese - and even my desire to have a glass of wine - diminished," wrote Josefsberg in a blog post. "I also noticed I had a real clarity of mind and much more energy than usual."

Another diet that has become popular recently, is the DASH diet. This is a dietary approach to stop hypertension, lower blood pressure and lose weight. It's based on research from the National Institute of Health and it includes lots of fruits, vegetables, grains and low-fat dairy products with limited amounts of lean meat, poultry and fish. Despite being high in potassium and magnesium, the DASH diet is low in sodium.  |
