Exactly. A diet can be translated a few ways. A weight loss diet, or a diet of food, or or or if you really want to get out there, it could also mean an assembly (think Diet of Worms). Either one you choose (not Worms), it really comes down to whatever you eat is your diet. If a fat pig solos a box of donuts, that's his diet.  If McBeetus Fluff Bar is complaining that 'diets' don't work, well, actually they do. It's eating a diet of donuts and it's gaining weight, it just chose the wrong food/qty for the results it wants. I kind of list my train of thought here... Something something something is like a fat eating meat and saying that being vegan doesn't work... something something choices, habits, willpower.
