A recent survey has ranked one the lesser known diets as being best for overall nutrition, weight loss and diabetes prevention.
Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers were ranked the top two for best weight loss .
However, the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) was picked for its sustainable, long-term approach to diabetes prevention and management .
The American Heart Association and US National Institutes of Health endorse the DASH diet for anyone suffering from hypertension; it has been demonstrated that this diet can reduce high blood pressure in a fortnight.
The DASH diet involves eating a lot of fruits, veg, whole grain foods and low-fat dairy foods.
The diet also includes meat, poultry, fish, beans and nuts. However, it limits red meat, added fats, sugar-sweetened foods and drinks.
In addition, it discourages eating processed foods, suggesting healthy food alternatives instead.
