There is so much confusion when it comes to nutrition these days. Should you eat this, should you avoid that…it’s no wonder why people have a hard time finding an eating plan that works and sticking to it! But, it doesn’t have to be all that hard. This week, we’re going to talk about the best all-around nutrition plan that makes eating healthy simple.

Here’s the breakdown of what you need to eat if you want to do everything from increasing energy, to having better nutrition, to gaining muscle.

Eat high-quality protein sources. This could include free-range poultry, wild-caught fatty fish, grass-fed red meat, or protein-rich vegan options.

Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. These pack the right nutrients to stimulate your metabolism, lower inflammation, and boost your weight loss. They are also low in calories, but pack a punch to your nutrition.

Eat your healthy fats. Fats are important nutrients for helping you lose weight. Not only are they important for the health of your cells, they are also important for keeping your appetite in check.

Enjoy fewer processed foods. Processed foods are full of sugar and fat, which is awful for your weight loss. Not only does it raise your blood sugar, it also puts you at risk for diabetes.

See, it seems pretty easy, right? Although it SEEMS easy, implementing a new dietary change can be challenging. And this is one reason why most people opt to follow a diet plan—to make it easy and simple to follow.

So what diet is the best one out there? Is it Keto, Paleo, or the Zone?

Actually, it’s none of the above. The best diet plan, according to research, is the Mediterranean diet.

This diet focuses on eating more whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. It eliminates all processed foods, and shifts your focus to eating more whole food options.

It’s very popular in Mediterranean countries (hence the name), and has been shown to aid in weight loss and may improve your heart health.

Although this diet may not be for everyone, it is one of the most popular diets with the highest success rate for weight loss, improvements in health, and overall reduction in heart disease.

In actuality, however, the best diet for losing weight is one that you enjoy doing, and you’re successful with it. This will help you stay on track, and help you reach your goals faster.

If you’re not one that likes to follow diets, then eating healthy, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, including more whole grains, and eating plenty of healthy fats and good protein sources, is the right plan to follow.

Next Sunday, we’ll talk about how to handle weekends in a way that helps you maintain your progress.
