Is there a “right diet” for you?

Do you ever wonder if you should be trying the latest diet craze? Well, here's why you can forget dieting and what you might want to consider focusing on instead.
Is it a diet or lifestyle change?

KUSA — If you’re not following a particular diet, you might actually be doing it just right.

It also means she doesn’t have to follow any strict rules that come with most diets.

“Sorting through diets is confusing,” says Rolfsen. “We see the latest diets all over, from TV commercials to our Facebook feeds.” Then, as she points out, there’s all that conflicting information out there. She likes to point out that if there was one particular diet that worked, there wouldn’t be a need for so many diets to exist in the first place.
