Diet is a Noun, not a Verb

I could almost leave it at that but I’ll add a little detail.  It is not something you DO it is something you have.  Diet the noun is the typical food for an animal or person.  You shouldn’t go ON a diet.  You already HAVE a diet.  Now it may be terrible, but it’s yours.  If you make a radical change to yourdiet, it’ll work for a little while. 

But…when it breaks down you go back to your typical eating and gain it all back and then some.  Instead take what you are already eating and make a small change that you can live with.  When people join our program they are sometimes shocked we don’t have a “DIET PLAN” for them to follow.  There are helpful guiding principles in nutrition that we try to improve on but that can look very different person to person. 

Don’t go on the “Stone age diet” or the “Plants only diet”.  Go on the (your name) diet.  Actually, you already are on that diet.  Now just improve it a little.
