But, before you fully commit to your new routine, consider health experts rank as the best diet for 2020.
The report done by U.S. News and World Report consider factors like balance, maintainability, and taste in 35 different diets.
And for the third year in a row, the Mediterranean diet remains the best overall for its combination of being easy to follow and healthy.

People following this diet may see the benefits of stronger bones, reduced risk for several diseases, including diabetes, and longer life.
