we have in our winners. In a list of 35 popular diets for a study carried out
by US News and World Report magazine the expert opinion of assembled experts
gave us the verdict of The Biggest Loser diet and the DASH diet as being the
best diet for diabetics, in both helping individuals to prevent the disease or
for those who already have it, reversing it. But is there really a best of the
best? Amongst these two champions, is there yet a champion still? I decided to
do a step by step comparison in order to find out. I compared two sample menus
used by the panel assembled by and used by the US News experts
. Whereas the Biggest Loser diet provided for
Breakfast, snack, Lunch, Snack and dinner, the DASH diet only provided for
breakfast, lunch and dinner. A comparison of their nutritional values shows
that while the Biggest Loser diet provides 1,489 calories as against the
recommended daily intake of between 1600 and 2000 (depending on age) for women
and between 2000 to 2400 calories (also depending on age), the DASH diet
provides on its 1500 calories and 2300 calories diet 2037 and 2062 mg
respectively.
