Popular Diet Trends
Intermittent fasting can boost metabolism and enhance fat burning, making it easier to lose weight.
The ketogenic diet can help boost energy levels and mental clarity by utilizing fat for fuel.
The Atkins Diet emphasizes low-carb, high-protein meals, making it easier to find satisfying, tasty options.
The Mediterranean diet emphasizes fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and olive oil, promoting heart health.
The Mediterranean diet is a concept first invented in 1975 by the American biologist Ancel Keys and chemist Margaret Keys. The diet took inspiration from the supposed eating habits and traditional food typical of southern Spain, southern Italy, and Crete, and formulated in the early 1960s. It is distinct from Mediterranean cuisine, which covers the actual cuisines of the Mediterranean countries, and from the Atlantic diet of northwestern Spain and Portugal. While inspired by a specific time and place, the "Mediterranean diet" was later refined based on the results of multiple scientific studies.
The Paleo diet is inspired by the eating habits of our Paleolithic ancestors, emphasizing whole foods.
Eating lean meats, fish, fruits, and veggies on the Paleo Diet can boost energy levels quickly.
Weekly Challenges

An ultra-processed food (UPF) is an industrially formulated edible substance derived from natural food or synthesized from other organic compounds. The resulting products are designed to be highly profitable, convenient, and hyperpalatable, often through food additives such as preservatives, colourings, and flavourings. UPFs have often undergone processes such as moulding/extruding, hydrogenation or frying.
