The “Best” Diet: Spoiler Alert—It’s the One You’ll Stick To
4-minute read
Let’s get this out of the way: There is no magic, one-size-fits-all, “best” diet out there.
I know, I know. That’s probably not the dramatic revelation you were hoping for, but hear me out.
The start of a new year always brings a flurry of health goals, resolutions, and, let’s face it, a lot of diet talk. Keto, paleo, Mediterranean, plant-based, vegan, carnivore, “eat-for-your-body-shape” (whatever that even means)—everyone’s trying to crack the code for weight loss and better health.
So, what’s the “best” diet? Is there a secret club that has the answer, and you just missed the memo?
Here’s the truth: The best diet is the one you’ll actually follow.
Why Diet Hopping (or “Winging it”) Doesn’t Work
If you’re constantly jumping from keto to paleo to the latest “TikTok detox,” you’re not alone. But let’s be real—how’s that working out?
Diet hopping is like dating someone new every week and wondering why you’re not in a long-term relationship. You’re never giving anything the time or consistency it needs to work.
And winging it? Well, quite frankly, if you’re not following some kind of plan or guidance, it’s going to be nearly impossible to figure out what’s working and what isn’t. So you’ll never know what tweaks to make because you have no idea what you’ve been doing.
Here’s the deal: Consistency is the key. Not perfection, not extremes, just showing up for yourself every day in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
Diets Don’t Have to Be Perfect to Work
Here’s another little secret: You don’t need to be perfect to see results.
Love bread? Same.
Craving a donut every once in a while? Go for it.
Want to eat a burger without feeling like you’ve “ruined everything”? Please do.
The problem with most diets isn’t the food—it’s the unrealistic rules and the guilt trip they pack into every bite. If you feel like you’re constantly failing because you can’t stick to every rule 100%, the “diet” isn’t working for you.
The real win? Finding a plan that works with your lifestyle and feels doable for the long haul.
Pick a Diet, Any Diet
When I say the best diet is the one you’ll stick to, I mean it. Whether that’s vegan, Mediterranean, or good ol’ plant-based, they can all work—if you’re consistent.
Now, full disclosure: I’m not a fan of keto or carnivore diets (hello, where’s the fiber?). But you’re an adult. You get to decide how you nourish your body. My job isn’t to tell you what’s “right.” It’s to help you find a way to get the nutrients you need in a way that works for your life.
Why You Need a Plan
Here’s where things get tricky: without a clear plan, it’s easy to get sucked into the chaos of too many influencers, too much conflicting advice, and not enough direction.
You need a plan. A real one. Not a Pinterest board full of recipes you’ll never make, not a $400 detox box that’s collecting dust, and definitely not advice from some rando dancing on TikTok.
Your plan should:
- Include foods you enjoy (yes, even carbs).
- Fit into your busy schedule without making you feel like a short-order cook.
- Focus on health, not just weight loss, so you feel good in your body and your life.
The Power of Sticking to Your Plan
When you commit to a plan, amazing things happen:
- You stop second-guessing every bite of food.
- Your energy levels improve because you’re eating consistently.
- Your confidence skyrockets because you’re finally making progress.
It’s not about finding the “perfect” diet. It’s about finding what works for you and sticking to it, day after day, until it becomes second nature.
But What If You’re Still Not Sure?
