More than one in three U.S. consumers are following a specific diet or eating pattern, and are increasingly averse to carbohydrates and sugar, according to the “13^th Annual Food and Health Survey,” released by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation, Washington, D.C.

Given a list of diets to choose from or the option to write in a response, 36% of Americans reported following a specific eating pattern or diet within the past year, about 2.5 times the number (14%) from 2017 when it was an open-ended question.
