BTW I never mentioned calories at any stage so not sure why you brought that up.
My point stands. People who are "going on a diet" are entering into a TEMPORARY eating regime and as such that will never succeed.

Diet
noun
noun: diet; plural noun: diets
1. the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.
"a vegetarian diet"
2. a special course of food to which a person restricts themselves, either to lose weight or for medical reasons.
"I'm going on a diet"
Diets (2) do not work.
(‘We’ are NOT talking about people going on a diet.) your quote .... YOU are!
(Not talking about people adopting a diet ) your quote -
I AM
( These ARE NOT the same things. ) your quote ...
That is ‘exactly’ MY point. !!!!!!
No you didn’t mention calories at any stage but the definition you chose to use in regards to this thread is definition 2 which is a temporary fix to lose weight which doesn’t work does refer to decreasing calories.
I agree it doesn’t work but that’s not the definition of diet I am referring to. A Paleo diet isn’t a temporary change in eating to lose weight. It’s a permanent healthy way of eating. Period.
In this following post , you are referring to diet terminology #2 which we BOTH agree doesn’t work.
All my writing in this thread isn’t about diet terminology #2 which is exactly why I posted what I did.
Now your just repeating what I’ve just stated

There has to be a permanent eating change, a complete lifestyle change in order to undo the harms caused by a previous bad eating regime and lifestyle.
A permanent eating change, with the associated food and nutrition education, is NOT a diet.
Diets are temporary. They pretty much ALL result in some level of swift weight loss (often water related) but since the diet is not sustainable and eventually comes to an end, the former eating regime starts to reappear and the weight comes back on and sadly usually more weight is put on besides.
This is all very old hat, all well documented. The well known slimming clubs have an APPALLING record of its members managing to lose weight and keep it off permanently. More than 80% put the weight back on and a high percentage of those put on more weight besides.
Diets simply do not work. They are temporary changes effected by people who don't like what they have become but who still don't understand their bodies and what fuel their bodies actually need. Dieters are still living for themselves, feeding the monster instead of resigning themselves to the fact that the body is simply a machine which needs to treated in a certain way.
What we want, what we think we like to eat or don't like to eat is of no consequence whatsoever. What the body needs is all that counts. The body is our vessel in this universe/reality, it's vital that we realise that and look after it.
