I still like cicophant, no acronym, just pun.1 -
When someone asks how I did it I say "Nothing special, I ate what I've always eaten only less". Then I wink and add "I will probably always have to watch what I eat because food tastes so good."0

Calorie Restriction?
"Counting" isn't adequate as you could count 1200 or 4200 cals.0 -

Call it eating normally0

Just saw an amusing name for counting calories: "arithmetic dieting"

LOL I like it. Interesting abstract too.0

I hate that there are so many "diets" with "names". When your diet causes you to lose weight, no matter what you call it, it's because of a calorie deficit. So I just call it all a calorie deficit.0

Oh, that seems to be the point even without a name, or what's all this about the "SAD Diet" and the like.0

If I'm eating less than my maintenance calories, then I'm on a "diet".0

Yep. I don't mind the term diet.0

That's a usage issue. Diet has multiple usages which can be understood from context. I don't mind the term diet either.0 -

I don't mind the verb form of diet either - "I'm on a diet".
Doesn't have negative connotations to me.0 -
