If you still aren’t sure what diet to try in 2022, you might want to consider the Mediterranean diet.
The diet was ranked as the top regimen in U.S. News and World Report’s annual list of best overall diets for 2022, ranked by a panel of experts.
Rather than a structured diet, the Mediterranean diet is more of an eating pattern based on the lifestyles of people who live in countries in the Mediterranean, according to the report.
