Dr. Neal Malik unpacks the science behind the most popular eating plans, paleo, ketogenic, and plant-based, to determine which offers the best long-term health benefits. Drawing from extensive research, he explains why plant-focused diets like Mediterranean, DASH, and vegetarian consistently rise to the top, emphasizing sustainability over trends.
Quotes to ponder:
"The best diet to promote a healthy lifestyle is one that allows for food to be consumed in moderation and one you are able to follow over the long term."
"All of these three have something very important in common, they are all plant-based diets."
"You can eat whatever you want, just be sure that most of the time you're consuming the foods I just mentioned. It becomes a lifestyle, not a diet."
