Top 5 Healthiest Diets of 2025: Will This Be the Year You Actually Stick to One?

Looking to eat healthier in 2025? U.S. News ranked the top diets, with the Mediterranean Diet reigning supreme again. Ready to commit, or will this be another year of pizza nights?

 If your New Year’s resolution was about health, here ya go . . .

“U.S. News & World Report”just put out its annual ranking of the healthiest diets to try this year.  And the same one sits at the top of the list for the eighth year running.  Can you name it?

Here are the five they say are the healthiest diets overall.

1.  The Mediterranean Diet:  Limit sweets, processed foods, and red meat.  Eat lots of fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, and healthy fats like chicken and fish.

2.  The DASH Diet:  It’s designed to lower blood pressure.  “DASH” stands for “Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension.”

3.  The Flexitarian Diet:  You’re mostly a vegetarian, but sometimes eat meat.

4.  The MIND Diet:  It’s a mash-up of Mediterranean and DASH, with a focus on brain health. 

(“MIND” stands for “Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay.”)

5.  The Mayo Clinic Diet:  A three-month program for weight loss.  You eat balanced meals with smaller portions, and can’t eat while watching TV.

The rest of their Top 10 are the TLC Diet . . . the Menopause Diet . . . Dr. Weil’s Anti-Inflammatory Diet . . . Volumetrics . . . and the Cleveland Clinic Diet.

What’s your 2025 diet plan—or are you already planning your cheat day? Share your diet strategies, failures, and everything in between in the comments. Let’s see who’s sticking to their resolutions!

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
