From keto to carnivore to whatever's trending on TikTok, the UK's obsessed with the next big thing. But which approach genuinely works for real people, and which are just expensive placebos?
Put the items in your preferred order.
The Mediterranean Diet
Oil, fish, veg, wineβbasically what your gran was doing all along. The boring choice that keeps winning because it actually works, without requiring you to meal prep like a bodybuilder.
Intermittent Fasting
The diet that lets you ignore most of the day then eat normally at night. Popular with City types and productivity bros, but does ignoring hunger signals actually make you healthier?
Ultra-Processed Food Embracer
Reject the wellness gatekeeping. If you're losing weight and hitting your targets on frozen meals and takeaways, why should you feel guilty? The dirty secret nobody wants to admit.
Plant-Based Everything
No meat, no dairy, no compromise. For some it's genuinely transformative; for others it's just a pricey way to eat chickpea flour. The real question: can you actually sustain it?
Carnivore Diet
The ultimate rejection of food culture advice: just eat meat. Backed by anecdotes and controversial doctors, it's either genius or the most dangerous trend since juice cleanses.
