We usually hate to play favorites, but when it comes to keto vs. Mediterranean, the winner is clear: The Mediterranean diet has proven benefits for heart health and overall longevity, and although the keto diet might jumpstart weight loss, it's not a great eating plan for long-term health.

Read More »According to nutritionist Keri Glassman, a truly ketogenic diet is too difficult for most people to stick to in the long run, and she “wouldn’t recommend it for the majority of people.” And, as she explains, one major downside is the dreaded keto flu, “the initial period of the diet during which your body is adjusting to its new carb-free existence and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog and nausea are common.” Because it’s so restrictive, Northwestern Medicine dietician Michelle Gomez explains, it can lead to disordered eating and psychological distress in the long run. And according to Zhaoping Li, M.D., Ph.D. in JAMA, “low-carbohydrate diets have been linked to increased mortality,” while long-term evidence of their benefits is lacking. Plus, as University of Chicago Medicine dietician Mary Condon explains, consuming large amounts of saturated fat “can increase your risk of heart disease.” (One caveat: Some proponents of the keto lifestyle argue that there’s a difference between “clean” keto and “dirty” keto. Clean keto means eating whole foods from quality sources, like grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, free-range eggs, wild-caught seafood and plenty of vegetables—while still maintaining that balance of fat-protein-carbs. Dirty keto means eating anything allowed on the keto diet, even if it lacks micronutrients like vitamins and minerals.) On the other hand, the Mediterranean diet is widely regarded as a sustainable and healthy way to eat. A 2019 study in the American Heart Association’s Circulation Research journal concluded that “better conformity with the traditional [Mediterranean diet] is associated with better cardiovascular health outcomes, including clinically meaningful reductions in rates of coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke and total cardiovascular disease.” It currently ranks first in the U.S. News and World Report’s Best Diets Rankings for “Best Diets Overall” (as well as best for diabetes and heart health, and easiest to follow).

Read More »Even strict keto dieters can eat up to 20 grams of carbs a day without being thrown out of ketosis. (Many eat even more, BTW.) Since a small order of nuggets only contains 9 grams of carbs, we'd say this fan favorite is still on the table—despite their crispy breading.
