The “Most” Popular Diet
The ‘Most’ Popular Diet
I’m reviewing various diet plans quite some time and have red enough info to write a book about them. I’e used references from the press, books, journals, web etc…
During my research I’ve came across an interesting fact of that meaning of expressions like ‘Top 10′ or ‘The Most Popular’ or combination of two of them.
‘The Most Popular’ and ‘Top 10′ have relative meaning. You’ll probably ask: What can be relative in ‘Top 10′ or ‘The Most Popular’?
Or they are ‘Top 10′ or not, they are ‘The Most Popular’ or not.
To get to the point, how diet rankings are determined? And which is the most popular diet today? Usually popular means what people is looking for, right The One which has greater demand on the market than others!
Just to get some clue about the numbers I’ve tried searching google but this time I used another tactics.
First I’ve found the number of total searches of words and the numbers were:
‘diet’ -143,000,000 searches per month;
‘good diet’ yielded 42,900,000;
‘bad diet’ 27,600,000;
‘healthy diet’ 10,800,000;
‘Health diet’ 83,200,000 searches.
Impressive numbers, quite impressive.
I think you got an idea. If people are searching for something more than other it’s more popular, right?
So I’ve tried the same for some diet plans (from reviews) which claimed for ‘The Most Popular’ and ‘Top 10′ diets.
See the results:
Atkins 1,610,000
Zone 3,160,000
Perricone 304,000
Ornish ”Life choice” 8,990,000
Weight Watchers 1,340,000
Macrobiotic 418,000
Raw foods - 1,320,000
Slimming world 625,000
The Gi diet 1,380,000
Meal replacements 1,190,000
Detox 1,910,000
Food combining 1,210,000
Low fat 8,330,000
Coconut 1,490,000
South Beach 1,460,000
Mayo Clinic 1,080,000
Grapefruit 1,610,000
Curves 1,200,000
Cabbage soup 1,120,000
Body Clock 1,250,000
Beverly Hills 1,120,000
In the list we have 21 diet programs and you can see clearly that there are 3 groups:
largest demand more than 8,000,000 searches and Zone diet > 3,000,000,
medium 1,000,000 - 1,610,000 and smallest - less than 500,000 monthly searches.
I really don’t know what those numbers say but I see that really popular ones nowhere are mentioned as such, Nowhere?
You see the really most popular two diet programs on google search today:
Ornish’s Life choice diet plan and Low Fat Diet programs with more than 8,000,000 monthly searches each.
Are they really as popular diets in practice like in google search?
I have not such kind of information.
Now I have another issue to research…
