No pork on my fork. Vegetables only. Meat only. Ethics first. Fish sometimes. One meal a day. No carbs. Each line tells a story. A belief. A goal. A reason. Diets aren’t random — they’re responses to real needs. Health, culture, values, time, energy.

In edition #126, take a tour of Diets.

Think of diets as neighbourhoods, not teams. Each one has its own vibe, purpose, and history.

We’re not here to pick sides — just to take a walk, notice patterns, and see how everything connects. 🗺️

And like most journeys, this one starts where many people begin…

This is the main road.
The place most diets pass through at some point.

Here live Keto, Atkins, and Low-Carb diets.

They all say:
👉 Eat fewer carbs, more fat and protein.

Examples:

Walk a little further and things soften.

Now you see Mediterranean, Zone, and DASH.
Still balanced — just not extreme.

Examples:

🔗 Same question, different style:
How much fat, carbs, and protein should I eat?

The scenery changes.

Welcome to Vegetarian, Vegan, and Whole-Food Plant-Based eating.

Here, the focus is less on numbers and more on where food comes from.

Examples:

You’ll notice overlaps:

🔗 Not how much you eat — but what your food is made of.

Now things get more specific.

This is Gluten-Free, Low-FODMAP, Diabetic, Anti-Inflammatory, Elimination diets.

These aren’t trends — they’re tools.

Examples:

They borrow ideas from everywhere:

🔗 Diets used to solve problems, not create labels.

Same food. Different clock.

Welcome to Intermittent Fasting, Time-Restricted Eating, OMAD.

Examples:

This works with almost anything:

🔗 When you eat matters — no matter what you eat.

Everything slows down here.

Meet Blue Zones, Okinawan, Nordic, Hara Hachi Bu.

These diets don’t shout.
They repeat simple habits for decades.

Examples:

🔗 Boring, repeatable habits beat intense plans.

Energy picks up.

Here live High-Protein, Athlete Keto, Vertical Diet, Carb Cycling.

Food becomes fuel.

Examples:

Same tools as before — just used on purpose.

🔗 Same diets. Different goal: performance.

Here, food means more than health.

Welcome to Halal, Kosher, Ayurvedic, Ital, Daniel Fast.

Examples:

Many modern diets quietly copy these ideas.

🔗 Food has always been about meaning, not just macros.

Quick look — no staying long.

Detoxes, cleanses, crash diets, viral challenges.

They often reuse old ideas — just louder and faster.

Examples:

🔗 Short-term excitement, long-term problems.

Every diet answers one (or more) of these questions:

1️⃣ What should I eat?
2️⃣ How much should I eat?
3️⃣ When should I eat?

Different paths. Same map.

The mistake isn’t choosing a diet. The mistake is thinking one diet works for everyone.

What does your diet say about you?

The “Right” diet:

You don’t need commitment. You need alignment.
