Özet: Nutrition, which is important for all ages and everyone, is also very important for athletes to maintain general health, increase strength and endurance, the efficiency of long-lasting exercises, and most importantly for success. Each athlete's diet is unique. Athletes take their coaches, friends, successful and / or popular athletes as role models and apply different nutritional practices to be successful. However, it is observed that vegan, vegetarian, ketogenic, and intermittent fasting diets are also popular among athletes and their application rates are increasing due to various reasons such as shaping the body, accelerating fat burning, the effect of some ethical thoughts, and religious beliefs. As the prevalence of these diets increases, studies on this subject gain speed, and the effects of popular diets on sports performance and health status are investigated. In this article, a comprehensive discussion of popular diets has been made by including the content of diets that have become popular among athletes today, their effects on athlete's health and performance, and the nutritional principles that should be considered while applying these diets.
