Some recommend eating more protein, while others focus on calories or specific types of food.
According to British nutrition expert Dominique Ludwig, the abundance of advice makes it difficult to know what actually works.
That is why she believes simple habits are often better than complicated diet plans, Business Insider reports.

Fewer rules
Dominique Ludwig has worked in nutrition for around 30 years.
According to Business Insider, she finds that many people spend unnecessary amounts of time and energy trying to follow different diet trends.
Instead, she recommends focusing on a few goals that are easy to remember in everyday life.
The aim is not to ban specific foods, but to eat more nutrient-rich ingredients.

More nutrients
According to Dominique Ludwig, a more varied diet can make it easier to eat less processed food.
She also says that many of her clients experience better digestion, more energy, and fewer cravings for snacks after a few weeks of focusing on these basic habits.
At the same time, she highlights that a simple approach can make it easier to maintain healthy habits over the long term.
