List of Diets
A diet (/ˈdaɪ.ət/; from Greek δίαιτα, díaita, "way of living") is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism. The word diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons (with the two often being related).
Types of Diets
Calorie restriction Diet
The Calorie restriction diet, also known as the CR diet, is a dietary regimen that reduces calorie intake without incurring malnutrition. The aim is to improve health and slow down the aging process.
Ketogenic diet
The Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. It is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children.
Vegetarian diet
A Vegetarian diet involves abstaining from consuming meat (red meat, poultry, seafood, and the flesh of any other animal), and may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter.
Vegan diet
A Vegan diet is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products, and all other animal-derived ingredients.
Paleolithic diet
The Paleolithic diet, also known as the Paleo diet or the Caveman diet, is a modern fad diet requiring the sole or predominant eating of foods presumed to have been available to humans during the Paleolithic era.
Mediterranean diet
The Mediterranean diet is a diet inspired by the eating habits of Greece, Southern Italy, and Spain in the 1960s. The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, and vegetables.
