'Best Diets' Ranking Puts Keto Last, DASH First

( CNN) If you’re a fan of the “fat-burning” keto diet , you’ll be fired up about its ranking in the 2018 list of best dietsfrom US News and World Report: It’s tied for last, along with the relatively unknown Dukan diet.

Both stress eating a ton of protein and minimal carbs, putting the dieter into “ketosis, ” when the body breaks down both ingested and stored body fat into ketones, which it utilizes as energy. People on such diets often deal with fatigue and light-headedness as they adjust to a lack of carbohydrates.

Though the experts on the US News and World Report panel that made the listing said feeing that way isn’t harmful short-term, they ranked the diets poorly on long-term weight loss success, ease of use and overall impact on health.
