Low-fat. Low-carbohydrate. The Zone. South Beach. Gluten-free. Atkins. Mediterranean. And the list could go on.

Seems as if a new diet comes out every other week.

The big trend this year? Well, at least in the first week of January, data from Experian Marketing Services said the Paleo Diet was the most-searched diet online.

Any of the “name” diets can be beneficial to most if done in moderation because it’s extremely difficult to be 100 percent committed to a plan that isn’t a part of the lifestyle. Food and eating are already part of our lifestyle, and that shouldn’t change.

The change or attempt to change individuals too much, too quickly, is where most diet plans hurt themselves. It’s difficult to change to a stated dietary course because there is usually an emotional attachment to the foods we’re eating.

The easier thing to do is add. If we were to add a myriad of good things to our nutritional plans, over time the good will have more pull than the bad. We eat the good because — again, over time — it plays on our emotions, making us feel as good as it tastes.

Enter the fish oil and bacteria we talked about a couple of weeks ago. If you go to the Facebook page “Year of the Challenge,” you will see that this month’s nutritional challenge involves taking in fish oil and probiotics each day.

Separately, these are already powerful supplements. Fish oil (and, no, it doesn’t taste “fishy”) has been found to be beneficial in the fight against conditions as varied as Lupus, depression, psoriasis and mental health. Probiotics, once thought to be good for only the digestive tract, help prevent oxidative stress and widespread inflammation.

Combine them and there’s a cocktail that enhances the individual properties of both. From a fat-loss standpoint, the omega-3s found in fish oil help us get rid of more fat than we would have if eating a diet without them, and the probiotics help us improve digestion and absorb nutrients more effectively. That results in more energy and a higher metabolism.

So, yes, we’re being asked to start taking in fish oil and probiotics (pictures of both are posted on the Facebook page) on a daily basis. But our bodies and brains will be appreciative soon!

Next: Eating even more.
