Quick Highlights:
- Nevada’s favorite diet search is the keto diet, followed by the Mediterranean diet
- New research has revealed the differing diet trends in every state
- The most popular diet in America is the keto diet
For this study, Gabriel Ettenson, MSPT, and Chief Medical Officer at Hypervibe, analyzed CDC figures revealing that 17.1% of American adults are always on a specialized diet, with distinct patterns across different states. The research discovered the most popular diet in each state by analyzing key search terms.
Top 5 Most Popular Diets in Nevada
1. Keto
Nevada’s go-to diet is the keto diet, which is also the most popular diet search across the country. 47 out of 50 states search for this diet more than any other, with a monthly average of 742,525 searches across America.
The keto diet replaces a large portion of carbohydrates with fat and protein, but fat makes up most of the diet. The benefit here is that you cut back on a lot of carbs, such as soda and white bread.
The safety of the highly restrictive keto diet is a complex topic with both potential benefits and risks. While it can be effective for weight loss and managing certain conditions like epilepsy, UChicago Medicine notes that it’s not without downsides, such as potentially stressing the kidneys, constipation, nutrient deficiencies, increased LDL cholesterol, bone mineral density concerns, difficulty adhering to the highly restrictive nature, Keto Flu, and weight regain after stopping the diet. No doubt the potential downsides have many people in Nevada, and other places, looking over other diet options.
2. Mediterranean
The Mediterranean diet is the second most popular type of diet in the Silver State, and it is also the second choice in 46 other states, with a national average of 591,016 monthly searches for this diet.
Nevada makes a good choice with this diet that is based on foods from the Mediterranean, such as healthy fats, whole grains, moderate dairy intake, herbs and spices, fish, seafood, lean meats, fruits, nuts, and seeds. The benefits of a Mediterranean diet, according to many studies, include reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, lower risk of type 2 diabetes, as well as certain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, and increased lifespan. The Mediterranean diet may not be appropriate for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease, diabetes, or heart failure.
3. Paleo
The third most popular diet in Nevada is the Paleolithic (paleo) diet. Americans search for this diet 132,508 times each month.
Otherwise known as the ‘caveman’ diet, the paleo diet consists of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, and seeds. This diet excludes grain, legumes, dairy, and processed foods, as well as refined sugars and salt. According to studies, the paleo diet has helped in lowering blood pressure, aiding weight loss, and improving insulin sensitivity. However, this diet is also not without potential downsides, such as potentially leading to nutritional deficiencies if not carefully planned due to its restrictive nature.
4. DASH
The DASH diet is Nevada’s fourth most popular diet, with an average monthly search volume of 130,831 across America.
DASH stands for ‘Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension’, with the goal of the diet being to prevent and control hypertension. The diet doesn’t allow alcohol, added sodium, and foods that are high in saturated fats, among others. It emphasizes consuming foods rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium while limiting sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol. The diet focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean protein, with reduced intake of red meat, sweets, and sugary drinks.
Nevada makes another good choice with this diet, as studies show this diet can help lower the risk of cardiovascular conditions, support weight loss, and help manage or prevent type 2 diabetes. However, this diet can be challenging to maintain due to its emphasis on fresh, low-sodium foods and the need for careful meal planning. Some individuals may experience temporary digestive issues like gas or bloating from the increased fiber intake, and it may not be ideal for those with specific dietary restrictions or allergies.
5. Alkaline
Nevada’s fifth favorite diet is the alkaline diet. Across America, there are 85,109 average searches made every month for the alkaline diet.
The core concept of this is to increase intake of alkaline foods like fruit, vegetables, and nuts while avoiding acid-forming foods like meat, dairy, grains, alcohol, and processed food to reduce acidity and maintain an optimal pH level.
While the alkaline diet may encourage the consumption of healthy foods, Nevada may want to reconsider this diet, as there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it can significantly alter the body’s pH or provide the health benefits often associated with it. Additionally, restricting or eliminating entire food groups makes the diet difficult to adhere to and can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant dietary changes.
Methodology
The data compiled by Hypervibe analyzed numerous search terms related to various popular diets across every US state to establish the nutrition plans that Americans are most interested in.
Commenting on the findings, Ettenson said, “Nearly half of American adults now live with diet-related chronic diseases. Heart conditions, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes push many to adopt specialized eating plans as management strategies.
“The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services urges Americans to maintain healthy eating habits throughout life to manage weight, meet nutrient needs, and cut disease risk.
“Weight loss diets still sit at the top among all specialized eating plans, with 9.1% of adults going on these diets. This means one in ten adults go for this approach, making it far more common than any other option, such as long-term lifestyle changes.
“Every specialized diet must deliver basic nutritional requirements. The right approach should match your personal health situation while providing balanced nutrients, which is why we advise speaking with healthcare professionals before starting any specialized diet.”
End Note
Sorry Nevada, decades of research highlight that there is no magic pill or shortcut when it comes to weight loss, and there is no single approach that will work the same for everyone. When it comes to a diet, you must take into account your personality and lifestyle, because no matter how good the diet looks or how good it might make you look, if you can’t sustain it for the long haul you will end up right back to where you started, and that probably includes gaining a few extra pounds.
