At the beginning of every year, a panel of diet and nutrition “experts” rank 40 of the most popular diets according to a specific set of criteria. Though the keto diet has garnered ever-growing attention over the past decade due to the millions of dieters who have experienced notable metabolic health improvements and increased weight loss, the keto diet (and modified keto diet) came in nearly last at
number 37 of the 40 ranked diets. In fact, it was ranked dead last (40/40) for “Best Diets for Healthy Eating. ” Was the ketogenic diet accurately ranked using evidence-
based nutrition science? Let’s explore. CriteriaEach diet was examined and given
ratings based on a set of seven different factors. Those ratings from experts are converted to scores ranging from five (highest) to one (lowest). In addition, the panelists weighed in with characteristics of each diet they liked or disliked. The panel of 27 experts in nutrition, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and food psychology judged each diet in the following seven categories:· The diet’s capacity to generate short-term weight loss. · The diet’s capacity to generate long-term weight loss. · The nutritional
completeness of the diet. · The ease with which the diet can be followed.
