Vegetarian Star

U.S. News and World Report has published its report on the best diets among those most popular.

In addition to it’s list of overall top ranking diets, the magazine has also ranked diets for specific purposes, such as weight loss, diabetes and heart health.

Best Plant-Based Diets was a category that ranked popular veggie friendly eating plans, including flexitarian, Engine 2 Diet, Asian diets and vegetarian.

From U.S. News:

“There was a time when vegetarianism was one thin euphemism away from just plain weird. Subsisting on plants seemed like some kind of kooky California fad or college experimentation and was discussed with an eye roll and hushed tone. Then again, there was a time when Whole Foods was the province of hippies, Bill Clinton ate burgers with bravado (the former commander in chief has since gone vegan to stave off heart disease), and vegetarianism marked the rare dietary restriction at a dinner party. Of course, we weren’t quite so hungry then for solutions.”

“We now have much stronger evidence that replacing red meat with plant sources of protein such a nuts or legumes improves blood cholesterol fractions and is associated with lower risks of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes,” says Walter Willett, chair of the department of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health.
