Raw-Food Diet Was Ranked the Worst for 2023, According to Experts
- Experts convened by US News & World Report suggest a raw-food diet is the worst way to eat for 2023.
- They said the diet was overly restrictive and not evidence-based and could lack essential nutrients.
- Healthy diets are flexible and easy to maintain over time and emphasize whole foods and plants.
The annual diet rankings from US News & World Report identified the raw-food diet as the worst overall eating plan for 2023.
The diet includes only foods that haven’t been cooked, such as fruits and veggies, sprouted grains and beans, and sometimes animal products like raw fish or unprocessed dairy. It took over the bottom spot in several categories from the ketogenic diet, or keto for short, which moved up slightly in the rankings.
Every year, US News & World Report convenes experts in health and nutrition to rank popular diets based on factors like their overall healthiness, how easy they are to follow, and their potential for weight loss and disease prevention. This year they reviewed 24 diets.
The experts ranked the raw-food diet lowest overall because there’s no evidence of benefits of cutting out cooked foods, it’s extremely limiting, and it may make you hungry, since raw foods tend to be lower in calories and protein than prepared food.
As a result, it’s tough to maintain over time. While short-term diets may lead to temporary results, often for weight loss, healthy diets in the long term involve eating strategies you can maintain, said Gretel Schueller, the managing editor for health at US News.
“At the end of the day, it’s about how long can I stay on this, can I do this in the long term,” Schueller told Insider. “You may look good for a few months but will eventually return right back to where you started.”
Experts say too much restriction can make a diet plan backfire
While diets that have strict rules or cut out certain food groups may seem effective, they can be hard to maintain, and the benefits won’t last if you quit within a few weeks.
“The moment you’re overly restrictive or feeling deprived, you’ll jump off and not stick to it long term,” Schueller said.
The panel of experts noted that other low-ranking diets were also excessively strict or hard to follow in the long term, or cut out potentially nutritious food groups.
Other poor performers were commercial diets including the low-carb Atkins diet as well as SlimFast and Optavia, which involve highly processed shakes, bars, and supplements used to replace whole foods.
In contrast, the top-ranking Mediterranean diet and other highly rated plans involve variety, don’t exclude food groups, and are easier to adjust to fit different lifestyles.
“The diets that rise to the top are ones we’ve known for years use a common-sense approach to healthy eating, incorporate whole foods, and are flexible,” Schueller said.
The keto diet ranked slightly higher this year
While for several years it was ranked the worst diet for healthy eating, the high-fat, low-carb keto diet snagged first place for quick weight loss and 20th overall this year.
Evidence has emerged in the past few years suggesting that keto and low-carb diets can help people manage their weight and blood sugar and can be structured in a way that includes more nutrient-dense foods and healthy fats.
“We’re seeing it that it has the potential to be done in a healthy manner, when it’s done properly,” Schueller said. “Ask yourself what people are replacing carbs with. If it’s a healthy answer, that makes all the difference.”
The experts ranked the keto diet last for heart health. They’ve previously expressed concerns that the diet is high in saturated fat, which some research has linked to heart-health concerns. Cutting out carbs can also mean eliminating nutrient-rich foods like fruit, some veggies, and whole grains — part of why the experts still ranked keto in the bottom five this year.
But it doesn’t have to be the stereotypical “dirty keto” diet full of butter, burgers, and cheese, Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, a professor at West Virginia University’s School of Medicine who studies low-carb diets, previously told Insider.
He said examples of healthier keto-friendly foods include fat sources like olive oil, proteins like fish, low-carb fruit like berries, and plenty of leafy greens for nutrients.
Correction: January 3, 2023 — An earlier version of this story’s headline misstated the keto diet’s position in the latest US News & World Report ranking. While it was bumped up from the bottom spot, where it was in 2022, the experts did not rank it the second-least-healthy diet for 2023.
Street Fighter 6’s best characters from the top 100 ranked players of the second beta
As we sadly draw close to the end of Street Fighter 6’s second beta, those who managed to partake are walking away with special memories from this rare occasion — while others continue to grind out like there’s literally no tomorrow.
Like we did back at the end of the first closed beta test, we’ve gone through the top 100 players from SF6’s online rankings this weekend and figured up which characters they ended up using the most from the limited cast.
Since there’s still just the same 8 fighters available this time around, it’s pretty easy to make comparisons as to which of them were most likely to reach the high Diamond and Master rankings in just a few days.
One noticeable change right out the gate is that Ryu is most certainly not the most common top-ranking character like he was last time with his numbers dropping by half from 22 to 11.
Ken’s power, however, only apparently grew with the red Shoto filling out the most spots at 22, which means that nearly a quarter of those highest ranked players mained him.
It’s not hard to see why with his series familiarity like Ryu while also having a bunch of different ways to rack up some big damage.
The community seems to have caught on to how strong Guile is in these betas considering he’s the character that saw the largest leap in terms of results going up from only 9 to 15.
• Ken – 22
• Kimberly – 18
• Guile – 15
• Luke – 13
• Ryu – 11
• Jamie – 7
• Juri – 7
• Chun-Li – 7
That’s even more apparent too when looking at just the top 20 players where 6 of them ended up being big fans of chucking Sonic Booms.
Although she doesn’t appear to be nearly as popular among the lower ranks, Kimberly is once again right up there by the top performers and doing so better now.
Since a character would need to have at least 13 players in the top 100 to perform better than the statistical average, that means Ken, Kimberly, Guile, and Luke players had themselves a pretty good weekend.
It also unfortunately means that Ryu, Jamie, Juri and Chun-Li all underperformed a bit with the first 3 falling from the first beta.
This isn’t to flat out say the top half of characters are inherently better or stronger than the bottom 4 because of all the variable factors that go into which players reach those heights, especially time invested.
The ranks do though show correlation as to the beta characters with whom strong players are finding quick and consistent results using in the span of 3 days.
And unlike Street Fighter 5, the CFN rankings for SF6 have separate League Points for each character a player uses, so it’s easier to see which picks are working best for them.
• Guile – 6
• Ken – 5
• Kimberly – 4
• Jamie – 2
• Luke – 2
• Ryu – 1
Note that Chun-Li and Juri were not played in the top 20.
Capcom will most certainly continue to adjust the game balance in SF6 up until launch with at least some decisions being impacted by these beta results, but there’s more that goes in to that beyond just ranks.
At the time of reporting around 5:30 p.m. PST, a user going by the handle of DiegoV_41 is the top ranked player in the world for SF6’s beta, stacking over a whopping 27,000 LP with Ken as one of the few Master-ranked users.
The rest of the top 100 had to reach at least 21,800 LP and Diamond Rank 3 with flags from all over the world.
Looking at those who’ve gotten the results this time, you’ll probably notice some familiar faces like Graham Wolfe, ISDD, DaFeetLee and even our own Velociraptor representing with Jamie.
There’s still a few hours for these numbers to change, so I’m sure there’s going to be a battle for the best ranks to come.
Meanwhile, the rest of us will be on the far corner cabinets testing out combos and setups that we’ll probably never get to use at this point.
Mary Peltola seeks to thwart Sarah Palin as Alaska tabulates ranked choice voting results
CNN
—
Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola, the Democrat who won a special election that sent her to Congress this summer, will once again thwart former Gov. Sarah Palin’s bid for a political comeback. CNN projected Wednesday that Peltola will win the race for Alaska’s at-large House seat after the state’s ranked choice voting tabulation, defeating Palin and Republican Nick Begich III.
CNN also projected that Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski will win reelection. She’ll defeat Republican Kelly Tshibaka and Democrat Patricia Chesbro. CNN had previously projected that a Republican would hold the seat.
And Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy will win reelection, CNN projected. He defeats Democrat Les Gara and independent Bill Walker. Dunleavy won more than 50% of first choice votes, so ranked choice tabulation was not required.
In Alaska, voters in 2020 approved a switch to a ranked choice voting system. It is in place in 2022 for the first time.
Under the new system, Alaska holds open primaries and voters cast ballots for one candidate of any party, and the top four finishers advance. In the general election, voters rank those four candidates, from their first choice to their fourth choice.
If no candidate tops 50% of the first choice votes, the state then tabulates ranked choice results – dropping the last-place finisher and shifting those votes to voters’ second choices. If, after one round of tabulation, there is still no winner, the third-place finisher is dropped and the same vote-shifting process takes place.
Peltola first won the House seat when a similar scenario played out in the August special election to fill the remaining months of the term of the late Rep. Don Young, a Republican who died in March after representing Alaska in the House for 49 years.
Offering herself as a supporter of abortion rights and a salmon fishing advocate, Peltola emerged as the victor in the August special election after receiving just 40% of the first-place votes. This time, she has a larger share, while Palin’s and Begich’s support has shrunk.
The House race has showcased the unusual alliances in Alaska politics. Though Peltola is a Democrat, she is also close with Palin – whose tenure as governor overlapped with Peltola’s time as a state lawmaker in Juneau. The two have warmly praised each other. Palin has criticized the ranked choice voting system. But she never took aim at Peltola in personal terms.
The Republicans in the race, Palin and Begich, both urged voters to “rank the red” and list the two GOP contenders first and second.
But Peltola had quickly won over many in the state after her special election victory – in part because she has deep relationships with a number of Republicans.
Peltola told CNN in an interview that she and Palin had bonded in Juneau over being new mothers, and that Palin’s family had given Peltola’s family its backyard trampoline when Palin resigned from the governor’s office.
At an Alaska Federation of Natives candidate forum in October, Palin effusively praised Peltola.
“Doggone it, I never have anything to gripe about. I just wish she’d convert on over to the other party. But other than that, love her,” Palin said of Peltola.
Peltola’s family was also close to the family of the late Young. Peltola’s father and Young had taught school together decades ago and were hunting buddies, Peltola said in an interview.
In the race for Alaska’s Senate seat, Murkowski, a moderate Republican, was targeted by former President Donald Trump after she voted to convict him during his impeachment trial in the wake of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Murkowski also broke with Trump on a number of key votes during his presidency.
Trump endorsed Tshibaka, and a cadre of former Trump campaign officials worked on her campaign. She was also endorsed by the Alaska Republican Party, which opted to back the more conservative candidate in a state Trump won by 10 percentage points in 2020.
But Murkowski had built a broad coalition in a state where political alliances are often more complicated than they appear. She and Peltola, had publicly said they would rank each other first in their elections.
Chesbro, the Democrat, was among the four candidates who had advanced to the general election. Republican Buzz Kelley also advanced, but dropped out and urged his supporters to vote for Tshibaka.
Tesla EVs ranked among the worst in annual reliability survey by Consumer Reports
Nov 15 (Reuters) – (This Nov. 15 story corrects headline to say Tesla EVs ranked ‘among the worst’, not ‘worst’. Story was previously corrected to remove reference to Mercedes in headline and paragraph 1, full-size pick-up trucks in paragraph 1)
Electric vehicles (EVs) from Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) and other brands were among the least reliable vehicles in the United States, Consumer Reports magazine’s annual reliability survey showed on Tuesday.
Although EVs and full-size pick up trucks enjoy the hottest demand in the market, they are the “most problematic”, the nonprofit organization that evaluates products and services said.
The report flagged a growing interest in hybrid vehicles, with 36% of prospective buyers considering one for their next car or truck purchase.
Tesla, the world’s most valuable automaker, climbed by four spots and was ranked 19th out of the 24 brands. The EV leader continues to have issues with body hardware, steering/suspension, paint and trim, and climate system on its models, the report said.
In October, the Elon Musk-helmed company said it expected to miss its vehicle delivery target this year and cited logistics challenges. read more
The top-ranked brands in the survey were Toyota and Lexus, and seven of the ten best-scoring brands were Japanese and Korean.
Among brands owned by Detroit automakers, Lincoln was the only one in the top ten, securing the tenth place.
The magazine’s annual survey of new vehicle reliability predicts which cars will give owners fewer or more problems than their competitors, based on data collected. Its scorecard is influential among consumers and industry executives.

The top 10 GOP presidential candidates for 2024, ranked
When he left the White House, he decided he would take government documents and then decided to resist returning them — in a way that now presents perhaps Trump’s most significant legal liability to date.
Then he decided he was going to try to assert dominion over the party by endorsing candidates in the most important 2022 races in the country. Most underperformed their fellow Republicans on the ballot on Tuesday and lost winnable races — including some who could make the difference for Senate control. And if the GOP does come up short, there’ll be a credible case that Trump cost his party that chamber for the second straight election.
And finally, Trump decided that he would use the tail-end of the midterms to focus on his own impending presidential announcement, which still appears set for Tuesday. Trump has now backed himself into a corner: It’s exceedingly bad timing, but if he doesn’t go forward with it, he’ll look weak and chastened.
None of this means the GOP won’t nominate Trump again in 2024. It has stuck with him through plenty, and its adherence to Trumpism has always been more about emotion than pragmatism.
But long before this week, Trump’s grip on the party was weakening. An NBC News poll in October 2020 showed 54 percent of Republicans identified more as Trump supporters than as supporters of the party. By the eve of Election Day 2022, that had dropped to 30 percent — a record low. And it’s quite plausible it’ll drop further now.
And perhaps most troublingly for Trump, who has smacked down any Republican who dares to challenge him, he can’t seem to do that so well with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump’s decision to start going after DeSantis has gone over like a lead balloon in some corners of the party. And again, Trump can either commit to it or look like he backed down.
Even three months ago, we had DeSantis overtaking Trump as the most likely GOP nominee in 2024. After DeSantis’s reelection landslide and Trump’s very bad day on Tuesday, we feel significantly more confident of that. The lane for a credible alternative who can make their nomination bid about actually winning the White House is now significantly wider — whether that’s DeSantis or someone else.
Below are our latest rankings of the top 10 candidates most likely to be the GOP presidential nominee in 2024. As usual, this takes into account both their likelihood of running and their prospects if they do.
Honorable mention: Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, Donald Trump Jr.
10. Sen. Rick Scott: On the one hand, the 2022 election is looking like a major setback for the Florida senator, whose stint as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee may soon end without his having secured what had been a very winnable majority. On the other hand, we just learned it reportedly dissuaded Scott from a planned challenge to GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). That suggests a presidential run might be more on the table than before. And Scott seems rather impatient with where he is. (Previous ranking: 8)
9. Mike Pompeo: The former secretary of state kinda, sorta suggested late Thursday that the party should move on from Trumpism — or at least from Trump’s constant social media score-settling, which has been pervasive since Election Day. “Conservatives are elected when we deliver,” he tweeted. “Not when we just rail on social media. That’s how we can win.” (Previous ranking: 9)
8. Nikki Haley: After the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Haley was one of the biggest voices making a pragmatic case that the party needed to move on from Trump. (Like others, she quickly backed off.) But even as Trumpism suffered another big setback on Tuesday and some in the party argue it’s a losing cause, the former United Nations ambassador has been remarkably quiet. She seems to have decided it’s best not to leap too soon. But if others adopt the same posture, it’s far less likely the party makes a clean break and rallies behind another candidate. (Previous ranking: 7)
7. Sen. Ted Cruz: Few were as wrong about the 2022 election as the Texas senator. In a Fox News interview published a day before Election Day, he offered, “I think this is going to be, not just a red wave, but a red tsunami.” Days earlier, he had ridiculed President Biden for predicting Democrats would gain a Senate seat and could hold the House — and both possibilities remain in play. Also worth noting: He dinged Trump for not spending more to help Republicans win. (Previous ranking: 6)
6. Kari Lake: This one is tough. Had the GOP gained as it expected on Election Day, the Arizona gubernatorial candidate would have rocketed up this list. Perhaps more than anyone not named Trump — and more than DeSantis, we’d argue — she gives the own-the-libs-first crowd exactly what it wants. She continued to bear-hug Trumpism and election denialism late into the 2022 campaign, even as many in the party opted for a more moderate tack. But that also might have cost her: Right now, it’s not clear that she’s actually going to win her race. If she doesn’t, she’s off this list for obvious reasons. If she does, though, don’t underestimate how well her style could play in 2024 — or her prospects as a Trump running mate if he gets to choose one. (Previous ranking: n/a)
5. Sen. Tim Scott: While all the focus has been on DeSantis’s performance Tuesday, the South Carolina senator quietly racked up an even more decisive win — defeating his opponent by 26 points — albeit in a redder state and in a race Democrats never seriously targeted. And while celebrating, Scott nodded to what might come next. He spoke of going to the polls in 2012 with his grandfather, who voted for both Scott and Barack Obama. “I wish he had lived long enough to see perhaps another man of color elected president of the United States,” Scott said. “But this time let it be a Republican.” If Republicans want a steady hand who could be broadly acceptable to many portions of the electorate, Scott can make a pretty compelling case that’s him. (Previous ranking: 4)
4. Gov. Glenn Youngkin: The Virginia governor gets a slight bump up on this list, since his 2021 win in a blue state looks even better now. It’s true that he benefited from more favorable dynamics than were present Tuesday. But the huge 2022 victories for governors like New Hampshire’s Chris Sununu and Ohio’s Mike DeWine only reinforced the electoral benefit of having someone able to craft their brand independent of — without necessarily breaking with — Trumpism. Meanwhile, Youngkin’s lieutenant governor, Winsome Earle-Sears, on Thursday called Trump a “liability” and said she wouldn’t back him in 2024 — something which apparently prompted Trump to send Youngkin a warning signal. (Earle-Sears was elected separately from Youngkin, but this certainly doubles as a nice trial balloon without having it come from Youngkin’s lips.) (Previous ranking: 5)
3. Mike Pence: The former vice president continues to walk the finest of lines on Trump. In an op-ed adapted from his new book this week, Pence ran through what he says happened before and after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. He wrote that, five days afterward, he got “terse” with Trump. But he also assured that a president who has shown basically no remorse about that day had expressed some to him. “With genuine sadness in his voice, the president mused: ‘What if we hadn’t had the rally? What if they hadn’t gone to the Capitol?’ ” Pence wrote. “Then he said, ‘It’s too terrible to end like this.’ ” To the extent the GOP truly moves on from Trumpism — again, a major “if” — Pence’s stock rises significantly. But he’ll need lots of Trump backers to forgive him for the sin of not overturning American democracy. (Previous ranking: 3)
2. Donald Trump: The former president remains the leader in the polls, though post-election polling could tell a different tale. But he’s also the first president since the Great Depression to lose the House, the Senate and the presidency in a single term. Indeed, he’s looking more and more like the man who last did that: Herbert Hoover. Democrats kept running against Hoover even after he left the presidency, and turned that into the best midterm of the century for the president’s party. At the very least, Trump is more damaged goods than he’s been at any point in the past six years, because his self-appointed reputation as a winner is in tatters and he can’t keep his foot off the gas. (Previous ranking: 2)
1. Gov. Ron DeSantis: Conversely, the Florida governor’s stock has never been higher, as he emerged from Election Day as perhaps the biggest winner on the GOP side. Among the stats: He defeated Rep. Charlie Crist (D) by nearly 20 points, won the Latino vote handily, and became the first GOP governor candidate to carry Miami-Dade County since Jeb Bush two decades ago. DeSantis had already been closing in on Trump; a YouGov poll last month showed DeSantis within nine points of Trump in a one-on-one matchup. And the biggest shoe to drop in the 2024 GOP race is now whatever DeSantis decides to do next. (Previous ranking: 1)
Here are the latest vote tallies in Alaska’s first ranked choice general election
Alaska held its first ranked choice general election on Tuesday.
We won’t know the final results yet. But the state Division of Elections started releasing batches of results Tuesday night. The count so far includes just first-place votes, and it will be updated in the days following Election Day as more mailed ballots are received.
A candidate can win outright if he or she receives more than 50% of first-place vote. If not, it goes to the ranked choice tabulation. The tabulation happens on Wednesday, Nov. 23.
The vote tallies will be updated below as more results are released.
