List of diets - wikipedia List of diets An individual 's diet is the sum of food and drink that he or she habitually consumes. Dieting is the practice of attempting to achieve or maintain a certain weight through diet. People 's dietary choices are often affected by a variety of factors, including ethical and religious beliefs, clinical need, or a desire to control weight. Not all diets are considered healthy. Some people follow unhealthy diets through habit, rather than through a conscious choice to eat unhealthily. Terms applied to such eating habits include `` junk food diet '' and `` Western diet ''. Many diets are considered by clinicians to pose significant health risks and minimal long - term benefit. This is particularly true of `` crash '' or `` fad '' diets -- short - term, weight - loss plans that involve drastic changes to a person 's normal eating habits. Only diets covered on Wikipedia are listed.

Vegetarians also avoid food containing by - products of animal slaughter, such as animal - derived rennet and gelatin. Fruitarian diet : A diet which predominantly consists of raw fruit. Lacto vegetarianism : A vegetarian diet that includes certain types of dairy, but excludes eggs and foods which contain animal rennet.

Semi-vegetarian diets Semi-vegetarianism : A predominantly vegetarian diet, in which meat is occasionally consumed. Kangatarian : A diet originating from Australia. In addition to foods permissible in a vegetarian diet, kangaroo meat is also consumed. Pescetarian diet : A diet which includes fish but not other meats.

Pollo - pescetarian : Someone who eats both poultry and fish / seafood, though no meat from mammals. Weight control diets Main article : Dieting A desire to lose weight is a common motivation to change dietary habits, as is a desire to maintain an existing weight. Many weight loss diets are considered by some to entail varying degrees of health risk, and some are not widely considered to be effective. This is especially true of `` crash '' or `` fad '' diets. Many of the diets listed below could fall into more than one subcategory. Where this is the case, it is noted in that diet 's entry. Low - calorie diets Main article : Calorie restriction Intermittent fasting : Cycling between non-fasting and fasting as a method of calorie restriction. Body for Life : A calorie - control diet, promoted as part of the 12 - week Body for Life program. Cookie diet : A calorie control diet in which low - fat cookies are eaten to quell hunger, often in place of a meal.

The book suggests that the key to reaching and maintaining the desired weight is understanding and carefully monitoring calories consumed and used. Nutrisystem diet : The dietary element of the weight - loss plan from Nutrisystem, Inc. Nutrisystem distributes low - calorie meals, with specific ratios of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Weight Watchers diet : Foods are assigned point values ; dieters can eat any food with a point value provided they stay within their daily point limit. Very low calorie diets A very low calorie diet is consuming fewer than 800 calories per day. Such diets are normally followed under the supervision of a doctor. Zero - calorie diets are also included. Inedia ( breatharian diet ) : A diet in which no food is consumed, based on the belief that food is not necessary for human subsistence. KE diet : A diet in which an individual feeds through a feeding tube and does not eat anything. Low - carbohydrate diets Main article : Low - carbohydrate diet Atkins diet : A low - carbohydrate diet, popularized by nutritionist Robert Atkins in the late - 20th and early - 21st centuries. Proponents argue that this approach is a more successful way of losing weight than low - calorie diets ; critics argue that a low - carb approach poses increased health risks. The Atkins diet consists of four phases ( Induction, Balancing, Fine - Tuning and Maintenance ) with a gradual increase in consumption of carbohydrates as the person goes through the phases. Dukan Diet : A multi-step diet based on high protein and limited carbohydrate consumption. It starts with two steps intended to facilitate short term weight loss, followed by two steps intended to consolidate these losses and return to a more balanced long - term diet. Ideal Protein diet : A four - phase carbohydrate - restricted weight - loss plan composed of pre-made meals, protein, vegetables, and water, with the fourth phase introducing carbohydrates balanced with protein and fats. Kimkins : A heavily promoted diet for weight loss, found to be fraudulent. South Beach Diet : Diet developed by the Miami - based cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., who says that the key to losing weight quickly and getting healthy is n't cutting all carbohydrates and fats from your diet, but choosing the right carbs and the right fats. Stillman diet : A carbohydrate - restricted diet that predates the Atkins diet, allowing consumption of specific food ingredients. Low - fat diets Main article : Low - fat diet McDougall 's starch diet is a high calorie, high fiber, low fat diet that is based on starches such as potatoes, rice, and beans which excludes all animal foods and added vegetable oils. John A. McDougall draws on historical observation of how many civilizations around the world throughout time have thrived on starch foods. Crash diets Crash diet and fad diet are general terms. They describe diet plans which involve making extreme, rapid changes to food consumption, but are also used as disparaging terms for common eating habits which are considered unhealthy. Both types of diet are often considered to pose health risks. Many of the diets listed here are weight - loss diets which would also fit into other sections of this list. Where this is the case, it will be noted in that diet 's entry.

I - tal : A set of principles which influences the diet of many members of the Rastafari movement. One principle is that natural foods should be consumed.
