The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) helped develop the DASH diet, so it\u2019s no surprise it\u2019s the number one diet for a healthy heart. It also tops the <a href=\"https:\/\/health.usnews.com\/best-diet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. News &amp; World Report\u2019s annual best diets list<\/a> year after year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to eat:<\/strong> Foods high in potassium, calcium, protein and <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/health\/how-much-fiber-high-fiber-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fiber<\/a>. Think fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean fish, poultry, beans, nuts and low-fat dairy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to avoid:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/health\/truth-about-salt-sodium-intake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salt<\/a>. Daily sodium intake should hover around 1,500 mg and never more than 2,300. The diet also <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/health\/how-beat-sugar-addiction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reduces sugars<\/a>, fats and red meat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Level of difficulty:<\/strong> Giving up fatty, sugary and salty treats is never easy, but the DASH diet doesn\u2019t restrict entire food groups, making it more likely you\u2019ll stay with the plan. Plus, the lean protein and fiber filled meals ensure you won\u2019t be battling hunger pangs either. It requires no specialty foods or recipes and you\u2019re not counting calories or points, just daily servings from various food groups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food for thought:<\/strong> Though it\u2019s not designed for weight loss, many DASHers shed pounds on the diet because it emphasizes eating foods that are naturally low in fats and sugars. Plus, it teaches proper <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/health\/portion-sizes-portion-distortion-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portion control<\/a>. It won\u2019t be quick or extreme though, but the best weight loss programs generally aren\u2019t. The smartest way to ease into the DASH diet is by <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/health\/healthy-tips-natural-flavors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">experimenting with spices and herbs<\/a> to help you forget that salt\u2019s not on the table.

These are all different carbohydrates that if poorly absorbed can pass through the small intestine and into the colon. Bacteria in the colon then feed on the FODMAPs, producing gas, bloating and pain. A <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/health\/low-fodmap-diet-digestive-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low-FODMAP diet<\/a> eliminates FODMAP foods for six to eight weeks. After that, small amounts of FODMAP foods are gradually re-introduced to find your personal level of tolerance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to eat: <\/strong>Meat, whole grains, select vegetables, select fruits, nuts, seeds, coconut oil, olive oil, tea, coffee and berries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to avoid:<\/strong> Wheat, barley, rye, nuts, legumes, lactose (dairy), fructose (fruit), garlic, onions, sweeteners and some vegetables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Level of difficulty:<\/strong> A low-FODMAP diet is hard during the initial elimination period because of all the restrictions.

And because the diet is quite restrictive, the chances of backsliding are high, especially if you\u2019re doing it just for weight loss. Moral grounds are often the best motivators for staying vegan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food for thought:<\/strong> In some cases, a diet based exclusively on plant foods may increase the risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/27101764\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nutrient deficiencies<\/a>.

By bringing macronutrients into play, IIFYM makes sure you\u2019re not just eating cookies and calling it a day. Still, some critics say the diet leaves plenty of room for junk food since you\u2019re allowed to \u201ceat whatever you want.\u201d You also run the risk of depriving your body of the micronutrients it needs. The IIFYM diet plan could be right for you if you\u2019re smart about it and eat quality, whole foods and avoid the junk, at least most of the time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/health\/diet-truth-calories-counting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Is Weight Loss Really As Easy As Calories In, Calories Out?<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16798\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16798\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16798 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-life.dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/10054307\/Broccoli-Bowl_2.jpg\" alt=\"The Quick and Dirty Guide to Choosing the Best Diet for You: Volumetrics\" width=\"620\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-life.dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/10054307\/Broccoli-Bowl_2.jpg 620w, https:\/\/cdn-life.dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/10054307\/Broccoli-Bowl_2-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16798\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pond5.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pond5<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Volumetrics<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Who it&#8217;s best for:<\/strong> People who want to lose weight without feeling deprived.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works:<\/strong> Eat the same amount of food you normally would but replace calorie-dense foods with low-density foods, which have fewer calories per gram.
