[Topic] What is your diet?

What is your diet? Diet means the kinds of food that eats. But when you are dieting or on a diet, it means you are restricting the amount and/or type of food you eat in order to lose weight.

I personally love intermediate fasting intermediate fasting. It is said to reduce cancer risk and slow aging (I guess I'm proof of that XD)

Find your diet: Take the quiz

• Mediterranean Diet: most popular in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, this diet is inspired by the dietary habits of the Mediterranean. It promotes the consumption of fresh, non-processed foods including vegetables, olive oil, fish, and chicken

• Juice Cleanse: a fad diet in which a person consumes only fruit and vegetable juices while abstaining from solid food consumption. It is used for detoxification

• Weight Watchers: based on calorie and portion control while eating regular food

• Paleo Diet: includes lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds — foods that in the past could be obtained by hunting and gathering

Also popular diets:

• 5:2 Diet (a type of intermediate fasting): most popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Sweden, and consists of two days following a restricted calorie fast (no-eating) and five days of normal eating

• 16/8 Diet: involves fasting every day for 14~16 hours and restricting your daily eating window to 8~10 hours. Within the eating window, you can fit in two, three, or more meals

• Keto Diet: a very low-carb, high-fat diet. You eat fewer carbs and replace it with fat and it's similar in many ways to other low-carb diets.

• Vegan Diet: contains only plants (such as vegetables, grains, nuts and fruits) and foods made from plants. Vegans do not eat foods that come from animals, including dairy products and eggs.

Time for the listening practice!
