Whether you\u2019re looking to lose weight naturally, improve your energy levels or boost your immune system, there\u2019s a healthy diet out there that will suit your nutritional needs. Our green team gives you the low-down on the four top diets making headlines at the moment \u2013 plus you can follow the links our favourite recipes and must-have shopping lists for each one.<\/p>\n

1. Alkaline Diet<\/a><\/h2>\n

In a Nutshell:<\/h3>\n

The food you eat releases either an acid or alkaline base into your bloodstream after it\u2019s been metabolised. Lately the typical western diet has become much higher in acid-producing foods (meat, poultry, grains, dairy, fish & shellfish). This imbalance of acid is thought to make you more prone to disease as it leads to the loss of essential minerals.<\/p>\n

The principle behind the Alkaline Diet is that your food consumption pH levels should reflect your bloodstream\u2019s natural pH level \u2013 slightly alkaline between 7.35 and 7.45. Also known as the Acid Alkaline Diet or the Alkaline Acid Diet, this eating plan focuses largely on fresh fruit and veggies, nuts, tubers and legumes \u2013 all alkaline-producing foods.<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Includes lots of fresh produce
\n\u2022 High in filling, fibre-rich foods
\n\u2022 Affordable
\n\u2022 Promotes weight loss & boosts immunity
\n\u2022 Prevents disease & premature ageing
\n\u2022 Suitable for vegetarians, includes many vegan-friendly staples<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Based on limited research
\n\u2022 Includes many rules to follow, which can get confusing
\n\u2022 Eating out at restaurants may prove difficult
\n\u2022 May not be suitable for those with kidney conditions or those on heart medication<\/p>\n

2. The 5:2 Diet (Intermittent Fasting)<\/a><\/h2>\n

In a Nutshell:<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not just about what you eat; it\u2019s about when you eat it. The 5:2 Diet involves the principle of intermittent fasting. This means you eat normally (but sensibly) 5 days a week and fast on the other 2 days. Fast days require significant calorie limitation (600 a day for men, 500 for women). The principle here is that during times of fasting, your body puts all its energy towards cellular repair and maintenance.<\/p>\n

The 5:2 Diet is designed not just to help with healthy weight loss, but also to prolong your lifespan and promote healthy brain function, protecting brain cells against the onset of conditions like Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia.<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Affordable
\n\u2022 Promotes weight loss & improved health
\n\u2022 Lowers blood pressure
\n\u2022 Allows your digestive system to rest & recover
\n\u2022 Lowers the risk of disease
\n\u2022 Promotes longevity & healthy brain function
\n\u2022 Encourages more consciousness about your daily diet<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Fast days require a lot of willpower & may cause side effects (headaches, low energy) at first
\n\u2022 You may be tempted to overeat after fasting
\n\u2022 Fasting may not be safe for certain people (pregnant moms, type 1 diabetics, anyone underweight)<\/p>\n

Dr. Michael Mosley has pioneered the 5:2 Diet and its health benefits. Learn more about his journey towards better health with the documentary Eat, Fast and Live Longer<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. The Tim Noakes Diet (aka Banting, Paleo)<\/a><\/h2>\n

In a Nutshell:<\/h3>\n

Prof. Tim Noakes has become a household name, and Paleo-friendly ingredients are just flying off our shelves here at Faithful to Nature! His book, The Real Meal Revolution<\/em><\/a>, focuses on a low-carb high-fat diet (LCHF), also known as Banting or the Paleo diet. This is a weight loss eating plan that focuses on protein and fats, eliminates sugar and processed carbs, and limits most grains.<\/p>\n

The principle behind this diet is that carbohydrates are non-essential, while protein and fat are the body\u2019s preferred method of fuel. This reflects the eating habits of early humans, who hunted animals and gathered fruits and vegetables, before the advent of grain-farming.<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Eliminates sugary snacks
\n\u2022 Eliminates processed foods
\n\u2022 High in iron & protein
\n\u2022 Promotes a greater feeling of satiety (fullness, satisfaction)
\n\u2022 Promotes weight loss & higher energy levels
\n\u2022 Helps to control blood glucose & insulin levels<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Lots of rules; requires a high level of effort & commitment
\n\u2022 Buying more organic & free-range meats can be pricey
\n\u2022 Vegans & vegetarians may find this diet very restrictive<\/p>\n

4. The Raw Food Diet<\/a><\/h2>\n

In a Nutshell:<\/h3>\n

The raw food diet is based on the belief that the best food for your body is uncooked food. The process of cooking often diminishes your food\u2019s nutritional value, as certain vitamins, minerals and cancer-fighting compounds are destroyed by the heat. Cooking also denatures the enzymes in food; these enzymes are what your body needs for proper digestion and nutrient absorption. Needless to say, eating a diet high in cooked foods can really throw your system out of balance.<\/p>\n

Raw foodists eat a whole food diet that\u2019s high in completely uncooked meals. However, it is still acceptable to heat some foods provided the cooking process doesn\u2019t exceed a certain temperature (this varies throughout the raw food community, from approx. 104-118\u00b0F).<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Focuses on fresh whole foods
\n\u2022 Easy for vegans & vegetarians to follow
\n\u2022 Easy for those with Celiac or gluten-intolerance to follow
\n\u2022 This healthy diet plan promotes natural slimming, disease resistance & more energy<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 May require additional expenses, ie. investing in equipment like blenders, juicers or dehydrators
\n\u2022 You might miss out on the benefits of foods that actually become more nutritious when cooked \u2013 for example, tomatoes contain triple the amount of lycopene after cooking
\n\u2022 You may find that not many restaurants cater to raw food requirements; options for eating out could be significantly limited<\/p>\n
