[Grammar] The best thing would be changing your diet

[angelene001]

I know that we say:
The best thing would be to change your diet.

Is it possible to use gerund after "would be"?
I think the best thing would be changing your diet.

Sounds odd to me.

I think the best thing would be changing your diet.

I agree with Bob. On the other hand, "I think changing your diet would be the best thing" would be odd if you changed it to "to change".
