The festive season is a time when many of us indulge in a second serve of pavlova, an extra cheeky cocktail and the numerous sweets and treats that are often hidden in the cupboards, thanks to family and friends gifting us with edible presents.

Unfortunately, over-indulgence over Christmas can leave many of us carrying extra weight – which no one wants. Fortunately, the U.S. News & World Report has analysed some of the world’s most popular diets to find which are the best diets overall.

#1 Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean diet recommends eating lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, while reducing the amount of dairy, fish, poultry, red meat and eggs. It is thought to prevent many diseases and keep you healthier, longer.
