To say a few American's have planned to diet in the new year. Which means a lot of people are trying to figure out the best way to lose the weight.
U.S. News & World Reprt is here helping with the 20222 best diets list.
Here are the results:
- The Mediterranean Diet, which puts an emphasis on fruits and vegetables, olive oil, fish and other healthy fare, was named the Best Overall Diet for a fifth year in a row.

- Weight Watchers, or WW as they are known now, lands in the Top Five for Best Overall Diet, and once again tops the list for Best Weight Loss Diet (tied with the Flexitarian Diet and Volumetrics Diet) and Best Diet Programs (formerly Best Commercial Diet) (tied with the Mayo Clinic Diet).
