Mine would be the steak and pasta diet. Curiously I seldom have the two together.

The Snickereetos Diet.

(Kidding. I haven’t had a Snickers bar or any Cheetos for decades. Together, they were my standard lunch in high school, though.)

_Reuben Popcorn._

Sounds like a self-help guru.

The _Steak Salad_ diet.

Ever since COVID, I’d really cleaned up my nutrition, even going hard Keto for a while. While I’m not as ‘hard’ but still relatively ‘Keto’, I read a lot of labelling.

Tripler  
Steaks ‘n’ lettuce. Coffee to wash it all down.

Hmmm.

Mine sounds like a real diet: it would be the Yogurt & Fruit diet. Honest. That is the only thing I eat every day reliably, and sometimes twice a day.

So I decided to go with my son’s favorite foods. Much better: the pizza and Popsicle diet. Even alliterates.

Leftover pizza for breakfast, a manhattan for lunch, then a sensible dinner. Give us a week; we’ll take off the weight.

Surf and Turf diet. Also known as carnivore diet. Love steak, pork chops, lamb, shrimp, lobster, scallops, salmon, tuna and swordfish to mention just a few.

Does coffee count as a food? If so, the Coffee and Chocolate Diet, if not, the Chocolate and Bread diet.

Cheese and Coffee Diet

I mean, I don’t _just_ eat cheese and coffee only, but those are the two food items I eat daily, after all, sometimes you want to put the cheese on something rather than hold directly with your fingers.
