If avoiding junk food means you're on a diet, then I guess avoiding cigarettes means you're on a cleanse.

- ravenstine 4y agoThere's no such thing as not being on a diet. Everyone is on a diet all the time. Some diets are shittier than others. Where are you and others here on HN getting this idea that a diet necessarily means something temporary? Most diets that aren't hypocaloric are meant to be a lifestyle. An actually healthful diet can promote health and weight loss without restricting calories or being a temporary measure, and such diets are usually more successful in the long run than telling people to eat leaves and wiggle a lot. When a diet is sufficient for daily needs, there's no need for it to be temporary, then it shouldn't be a diet but the diet for a given person. > junk food As an aside, most people have no idea what that even is. Raisin Bran is arguably junk food, but most people wouldn't think to classify it as such. Some people think eggs are junk food.
