The word diet refers to anything we eat daily. Remember that the best diet for you is one that will help you reach your health goals and that you can stick to.
Today everyone is on a diet. While some swear by a Keto diet, others prefer a Paleo diet. Depending on the diet, the purpose could be to lose weight, gain muscle, boost focus, or just feel healthier.
If you go online and search for diets, you will be surprised at the number that comes up. However, we’ll take a look at some of the more common diets.
