The Mediterranean diet came out on top in U.S. News & World Report‘s annual ranking of the best diets. Last year, Mediterranean and DASH diets shared the top spot.

A Mediterranean diet is generally low in red meat, sugar, and saturated fat. It’s higher in produce, nuts, legumes, olive oil, and fish. The publication ranked it high in terms of being nutritionally sound and including diverse foods. It also ranked first for best heart-healthy diet, best diabetes diet, and best diet for healthy eating.

The DASH and flexitarian diets round out the top three overall diets. In terms of weight loss, Weight Watchers ranked first.
