Best Heart Healthy Diets

US News & World Report ranked "Heart Healthy Diets".  Take a look at:

Best Heart Healthy Diets

There are some that I have not researched.  The Ornish Diet is:


Meat, poultry, and fish aren’t recommended. The only dairy allowed is fat-free yogurt, milk, fat free cheeses, and egg whites.
Foods not allowed are; all fats, oils, nuts, seeds, avocados, refined carbohydrates (including sugar, white rice, and white flour).
Other than these ‘banned’ foods, the diet allows you to eat all you want without any weighting or measuring. What’s left is predominantly fruit and vegetables, and grains.

The Ornish Diet is not my choice - I can do without meat, but poultry & fish - don't think so!

The other new one was the "Volumetrics Diet".  

The Volumetric Diet's principles are based on sensible eating choices, and this plan is meant to be employed with a regimen of healthy moderate exercise. When using the Volumetric Diet, you should pay attention to the number of calories per gram of food. Foods with a low number of calories per gram usually include a lot of water and fiber. The Volumetric Diet also calls for an increase in the consumption of water, suggesting 48 to 60 oz. of water per day, which amounts to 8 to 10 six-oz. glasses of water.

 So the "Volumetrics Diet" tries to make you feel FULL!

Take a look at the article and see what you think!
