What comes to your mind when you hear diet?
I will add an update after a number of people have answered or some time has passed.
I think of fats being taken out without sugars being included.
I think of sugars being taken out, and replaced with artificial sugars that increase diabetes and appetite.
In terms of diets, I think of people eating less than they normally do until they lose enough weight, then going back to eating like they were once they are at the right weight, only to wonder why the weight came back on.
I also think of changing eating habits without a method that sticks. That is, to lose weight, you find foods you hate and can't develop a taste for, then wonder why it's a chore to keep it up. You have to love what you eat if you want it to stick.
I guess I'm just not a diet person.
When I think of someone saying they're going on a diet, it's a loss weight quick scheme. They lose it all and gain it back next year. Diets don't work and they never will. We already have a habit of eating which is called a diet.
People need to get off their lazy ass and have lifestyle change.
I think of the insanity of humanity. Diets to me are people starving themselves to drop weight fast then putting it back on again plus some and starting the whole thing all over again. But I've never been on a diet so it's easy to judge from the outside looking in.
Diet is what you eat on a daily basis.. doesn't matter what it is.. it's a diet!
Though most people think of it as as something you do when you're fat.. :/
Anyway, when I hear the word, I see lettuce, boiled eggs! lol and a measuring tape!
depends who says it... to me it just means what you eat... like my turtle eats a plant based diet. When I hear it on Tv it makes me cringe so many unhealthy habits and lies that are making somebody some good money.

Ignorant people listening to money hungry idiots about how to loose weight.
I don't of course think that diet means only trying to lose weight, but half of the health questions here are about crash diets. The minute I see or hear that word I'm assuming it's about that and immediately in "why are you doing this to yourself" -mode.
Umm.. what on earth are you talking about :o?
You don't have to get your panties in a bunch. I was just saying the first thing to come mind when I hear the word diet, NOT the actual meaning of the word as I actually already stated in my answer.
I think housewifes and young attention seeking girls, that think that losing a few pounds will help them feeling better about themselves. It's so stupid! If you wanna get skinny - and stay that way - you'll have to change your lifestyle, not what you eat in a few months.
For me : a particular choice of food consumption, i.e type of food, regimen.
In my mind I see an array of healthy foods because I like a balanced meal. I see a typical plate of mine, tofu, vegetables, nuts, legumes. Nom.
Trying to lose weight quickly for aesthetical reasons. I know it has multiple meanings, but I've had to deal with this specific definition most often.
Eating differently than you did before to get some kind of results you want.
Diet to gain weight involves higher caloric intake and more carbs, etc.
Diet to lose weight is the opposite.
What comes to your mind when you hear diet?
That it is one of the most misunderstood words.
It means what you eat.
Yes, I very well know that.
Controlling your food intake to more structured and healthier selection.
*not again* this two words will come into my mind because people around me are always talking about it. But when I look at them, they are not fat.
When I hear the word diet an image of a tread mile pops into my mind, along with a salad.
I assume what food stuffs you include in a daily basis as opposed to dieting which mostly says what you're not eating.
Nice pic
It's cool that you are into quantum physics. I love physics.
Did you block me ?!
Lol
What are you laughing at, someone did block me and I had a suspicion it was this women here.
Eating salads and no food I like
Fat people and doctors selling books.
i think counting calories and minding portions
I instantly thought of salads.
I hope you know it's what you eat.
Of course dude! I studied Science as well as Food And Nutrition for several years. I only told you the first thing that popped in my mind.
Ah O.K because I thought it might be the case that you did not know but anyway.
I think eating less food to lose weight.
Healthy eating and lifestyle changes
weight loss
starving :(
Don't think like that. Everybody has a diet. Some are on a good one and some are on a bad diet. Diet is what a living thing eat.
I think about disgusting healthy foods
Eating healthy expensive food and going to the gym
This is the first time I've heard that to eat healthy you need to buy expensive food. I think you don't need to spend extra amounts of money for healthy food. What are these healthy expensive food, give me some examples.
As a mother of a five year old and a one year old I'm always on the go and this means I eat out most of the time. I need to choose a restaurant that both me and my child like so I can get an entire meal for ?5 or I can only buy a little salad tray for the same price that doesn't fill me up. Another exp is if I go to the supermarket I can get a three course deal with drinks that will fill the whole family for only a ?10 or if I was going to make a three course healthier meal it would cost more.
