A spokesperson from Total Shape said: “Diet plans can be extremely useful for those who thrive on structure. Most people put on weight either by eating foods that are too heavy in fats, sugar, and other refined carbohydrates or by not exercising enough.

“Some people revert to starvation diets to lose weight quickly. But that can be a dangerous idea since starving yourself will negatively affect you mentally, emotionally, and physically.

“If you are planning to diet or change your eating habits in 2023, make sure to research the diet or speak to a nutritionist to ensure you are still getting all the nutrients and food groups that your body needs.”

The team at Total Shape also used data from Statista to reveal the most followed diets in the US. The data was collected through a national consumer survey and asked participants, “Do you follow one or more of the following nutrition rules?”

Over half of Americans (52%) don’t follow nutritional rules, while 19 percent follow a low or no-carb diet, meaning they limit or do not eat carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, and potatoes.

Eleven percent of Americans said they are lactose-free, which means no dairy products such as butter, milk, chocolate, cheese, and yogurt. Another 11 percent said they are flexitarian, meaning they eat a mostly plant-based diet but occasionally allow meat, fish, and dairy products.

Ten percent are gluten-free, excluding foods such as bread, pasta, cakes, and pastries from their diet.

Five percent of Americans identify as vegetarian, meaning no meat or fish, while four percent are pescatarian, meaning they consume no meat but allow fish. Four percent are vegan, which means no meat or animal products of any sort.

Finally, seven percent identify as “other,” which could include a spectrum of other diets, such as fruitarian (someone whose diet consists of mainly fruit), alkaline diet (avoidance of foods with high acidic levels), or keto diet (consuming a diet high in fat, low in carbohydrate).
