The ketogenic (keto) diet took the top spot in the findings. There are 46,113 average monthly searches for keto diet-related search terms in New York, more than any other popular diet. The keto or ketogenic diet replaces a large portion of carbohydrates with fat and protein. However, fat makes up most of the diet.

The second most popular diet in New York is the Mediterranean diet. The diet has 33,371 average monthly searches for terms related to a Mediterranean diet within the state. Based on foods from the Mediterranean such as whole grains, fruits, nuts, and seeds, the benefits of a Mediterranean diet, according to many studies, include reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and increased lifespan.

In third place is the DASH diet with an average of 8,032 monthly searches being made in New York. Meaning ‘Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension’, the aim of the diet is to prevent and control hypertension. The diet doesn’t allow alcohol, added sodium, and foods that are high in saturated fats, among others.

The paleolithic (paleo) ranks fourth with 7,801 average monthly searches being made for the diet in New York. Otherwise known as the ‘caveman’ diet, the diet consists of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, and seeds. According to studies, the paleo diet has helped in lowering blood pressure, aiding weight loss, and improving insulin sensitivity.

Rounding out the top five is the alkaline diet. There are 6,160 average searches made each month in New York for the alkaline diet. The alkaline diet encourages clean eating in the form of high intakes of fruit and vegetables whilst reducing processed foods.
