Lifestyle Change vs. Diet...do you think there is an actual difference?

[MartinMarsh]

Yes, a very HUGE difference. A diet is practically a one time thing until you lose as much weight as you want. Then most people go straight back to how they were eating before and gain the weight right back. Diets, for the most part, are short term.

A lifestyle change is a complete change of what you eat and what you do on a day to day basis for the long run.

HUGE different. A diet implies that you'll be off it at some point ("I'm on a diet") vs. "I keep processed food out of my diet".

well technically a diet is every type of eating habit,but diet usually refers to a short term commitment,while a lifestyle change is long term.

Lifestyle change is more longterm than a diet.

Yes, diets are temporary.
