Predict the next big diet fad

We've seen low fat, no fat, low carbs, paleo, keto, gluten-free, etc. What do you think the next big fad will be?
I'd like to think it will be "casein-free" since casein has been linked (possibly) to breast cancer and that is a big concern for most people. That is sure worse than anything gluten can do.

Paleo is already pretty anti dairy.... But I agree, somehow protein will be targeted next. Maybe some vegan variant?
Low FODMAP is getting traction in the nutrition world to repair the digestive tract. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the next big thing0 -

So you've read The China Study too? Many of the veggie people I know cite that book as the reason why they went vegan, or more specifically, raw vegan, or high carb low fat vegan.
Most of them are omnivores now because they just. couldn't. live. without. cheese. I don't know if it will catch on mainstream, but fear of protein is big in the vegan circles.
I even know a soy free, corn free, gluten free, nut free vegan. She lives on air and sunshine, and not much else.

The one after that will be where people accept it's their fault, not the food's. Oh wait, that'll never happen.
Love this
Very true, though.

Alternate Day Fasting + very low carb diet0

I suspect it will be a result of the new food guidelines that are supposed to come out this year. If you've never read the public comments that were taken last year, it's pretty easy to watch where each of the different biases are coming from:
http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2015/comments/readComments.aspx
Many of the comments are officially anonymous, but all the different food companies and lobby groups have to identify themselves. You'll find everything from Monster to Welch's to the Dairy Council throwing in their 2 cents, along with a ton of doctors and private citizens.
Those comments are basically a preview to the food arguments that are coming for the next 5 years.0 -

Yup, that's my impression from the vegans I know.
I don't see low FODMAP or vegan really catching on as a fad, though, since both are a lot more work unless you really have food issues/have an ethical commitment.
I do think it will be anti protein, but think we have a few years before it happens.0 -
Mad Men Diet.............you smoke and drink at the office but come home for dinner.0

Anti protein would be crazy! I think that lifting weights in preference to cardio is becoming a trend (amongst the girls I know at least - none of my group lifted last year, but now ten of us have started). Also fusion exercise - I have seen a lot of combined gym classes to 'burn fat' - such as 'piloxing'! Hehe0

Do I want to google piloxing? My mind immediately went to pilates and detoxing at the same time, which sounds...messy.0 -
Pilates and boxing!0

A balanced diet with a bit of alcohol at the weekends and the odd sweet made at home....wait, thats not a fad diet, thats a normal diet0

I'd never even heard of keto a year ago, now two people I know IRL are doing it. So maybe that.I suspect it will be a result of the new food guidelines that are supposed to come out this year.

I've been keto 15 years. Does that mean I have to be a hipster now?0
