DASH Diet comes at the top ranking in US. Here is quote from HuffingtonPost:
Being on a diet doesn’t always mean good things for your health. You want to make sure your new diet will provide enough calories and doesn’t skimp on important nutrients or entire food groups. The Best Diets for Healthy Eating rankings take both nutrition and safety into account. (See how we did it.) Among the 20 popular diet programs ranked by U.S. News, the DASH Diet came out on top.
Dash Diet got 4.8 stars out of 5 stars and named as a BEST U.S. News diet. Panelists applauded the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) plan for its nutritional completeness and safety — it racked up lots of 5s and 4s in both categories. Endorsed by the federal government’s Department of Health and Human Services, the diet is packed with produce and light on saturated fat and salt.

DASH Diet. This family-friendly eating pattern aims to deflate high blood pressure, and helps keep weight in check, too. Online materials suggest how many calories you should eat for your age and activity level, meaning DASH can be tailored for kids and seniors alike. Meals emphasize fruits, veggies, grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy, and lean meat, poultry, and fish—all conventional ingredients. DASH-friendly recipes range from grilled pineapple to Southwestern potato skins, fruit smoothies, and Buckwheat pancakes. “I don’t think the typical American diet looks anything like DASH or Mediterranean,” Fung says. “Most families get pizza or go out to eat twice a week. But even if the diet looks very distant from where you are, moving [one] step closer will be an improvement.”
