IMHO "diet" is a matter of semantics. I don't see "diet" as anything short term. I think of "diet" as a noun, a "a way of eating." Not only a verb, thing you "do" to lose weight. Both definitions are technically correct....
Saying "It's not about a diet, it's about a lifestyle" reminds me of Born-again Christians who say "Being a Christian isn't about religion, it's about a relationship." But really, it is still religion.
Dictionary.com has these in their list of diet definitions:
4. the foods eaten, as by a particular person or group:
The native diet consists of fish and fruit.
5. food or feed habitually eaten or provided:
The rabbits were fed a diet of carrots and lettuce.
SO it's not ONLY a short term thing, it also refers to the overall eating plan.

This is why, when I want a cheeseburger, I make it work into my day. I don't force myself to eat a cold salad when I want a hot juicy cheeseburger.
...
I sure as heck wasn't going to choose the salad meal option and spend my time wishing it was prime rib. THAT is what makes a diet suck - eating crap you don't like, trying to pretend it's something else.
^^ and also what makes it a "diet" instead of real-life, sustainable changes for a healthier life. I sound like a cliche commercial for healthy living ... but it's true. "Diets" are for short-timers who will be back to do it again ...
That's just semantics. Diet as a verb means to eat for weight loss. Who plans to keep losing weight forever? Either you stop dieting or you die.0 -
Fair enough. Then it's only the specific connotation I cringe at, not all the many other uses of the word diet. Thx for clarifying ...

No. I eat the cheeseburger and still get lean bc.... Flexible Dieting.0

I, for one, am definitely not on a diet. Once I start looking at it like that, words like cheat creep in. Maybe not for others, which is what makes us all different.0

Oh and I hate cottage cheese, too...so I won't be forcing any of that down my throat any time soon, either.

As a noun, yes. But still, we all have one. If not, you will die.0 -

Hmmm definitely give up the tuna if you don't like it. There are other ways to get in your Vitamin D. Sunlight, fortified cereals and orange juice, milk, yogurt, eggs, cheese, cod liver oil or supplements. I choose any one of those before eating tuna bleh!
Healthy is not eating what you don't like. Healthy is meeting your macro and micro nutrient goals with what you do like to eat.0 -

I feel bad for those of you depriving yourselves of things like this. Learn moderation. Look up flexible dieting. Educate yourself. Peanut butter, bacon, red meat = delicious and healthy in their own right.0 -

I thought she meant wrong as in disgusting, but maybe that's just where my mind went.
I'm not a huge fan of bacon and dislike it on burgers. I am a huge fan of pb, but don't want it on my burgers.0 -

For the record, I enjoy each of those. Very much. Just not together. In a burger. If you read any of my posts in this thread, I am all about "flexible dieting." No need to "educate myself."
You may turn the sanctimony off now.

I'd so love PB on a burger, but I hate bacon.

No; that would make me think my beef was spoiled or something. I believe I can fit the occasional cheeseburger into my diet plan.
I pretend that chocolate is hiding licorice, though. The idea of putting licorice into my mouth totally turns me off.0 -
i still cant figure out why OP is eating tuna if she doesnt like it.
but if you insist, OP...try this, but use tuna instead of ground beef

And see, I love bacon on a burger, but not with peanut butter. No peanut butter mixed with meat products! Ewww! gross! lol

Pretty sure that comment was about the combination. I like/eat peanut butter, bacon, and hamburger/red meat, but I don't eat it all together like that. Maybe bacon and hamburger, but not with peanut butter. Yuck.0 -
nope i like what i eat0

Dude, they have tuna helper:
but wait!
tuna helper will still taste like tuna, right?
if we wanna pretend fish is burgers, then perhaps we could go with the burger helper?
maybe we could use the tuna helper sometime when we want a bacon cheeseburger to taste like tuna!
dinner, my place, 8pm.
i will cook you a feast of tuna hamburger bacon cheeseburger helper.
plz bring a side of tuna helper without the tuna, as all the tuna will be in the main course.
see you at 8 sharp.

No, but the one time I went for the fish course, I had to pretend it was a hotdog.0
