Is paleo better than plant-based or Mediterranean?   Are low carb or ketogenic diets better than low fat diets?  Is intermittent fasting like alternate-day fasting or the 5:2 diet better than continuous energy restricted diets? What about time-restricted feeding?  Let\'s look at what the research says, on short-term outcomes vs long-term outcomes and why focusing on what is \"best\" may actually be doing you a disservice.
