What about the Diet of Worms? --rmhermen

Well, you know, they say something about it at Martin Luther and Worms, Germany, but this Diet does not seem edible. :-) -- Juan M. Gonzalez 03:22 Sep 12, 2002 (UTC)

I dunno, I seem to remember something about roasting a bull? Mmmm, ribs! ;) --Brion 03:27 Sep 12, 2002 (UTC)

Yes tres amusante, but we cannot have innumerable diets added here for othersto fill in: could you research the diet beforehand,and then addthe information to save 0thers the task of doing so?

The Breatharian diet entry, while very interesting and notable, is not a serious diet: I try to be open-minded, but hey, this diet would be fatal. So I propose that it is eitherdeleted fromhere,or renamed to dsignify that it is not really advanced as a seriout diet like the other ones on this page. I think it is better categorised as eccentric, as I tried to do, or more basically as fraud. Any comments?

some people believe it is a real diet. You and I may think they are bonkers but I don't think this necesarilly entitles us to invalidate their viewpoint. The link belongs on this page as it points to what purports to be a 'diet', I think the article itself makes it clear that it has little credibility. Who knows, perhaps one day a breatharian wiki contributor may actually be able to write a convincing and substantiated article explaining the benefits of prana ;-) - therefore I vote the link stays... quercus robur 21:07 25 May 2003 (UTC)

Surely if an article isn't credible, it shouldn't be included, at least not here... ah well, I see your argument, so if anyone wants to give a casting vote... TonyClarke 12:23 26 May 2003 (UTC)

It should stay, because it clearly is a diet, and some people claim to practice it. Indeed, some people probably do practice it for short periods. Ashley Y 11:04, Nov 12, 2003 (UTC)

To the person who added the warrior diet: thanks, great, coould you tellus a bit about it so we can fillin an entry for it? Or even better, could you do that? Many thanks TonyClarke 00:56, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yeast control diet controversy

The Candida control diet is the most controversial diet. It has been believed to cause hypoglycemia. Personally, the diet is very detrimental to me. I condemn endorsement of the yeast-control diet due to heavy and controversial restrictions and the diet's road to hypoglycemia. Tedius Zanarukando, 21 Mar 2005, 01:36 (EST).

Junk Food

Is the junk food diet serious? --MosheA 04:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Beginning

The beginning of the list appeared to be missing (i.e., Sections 1, A, B, and part of C). I added them back in from a previous revision (Revision as of 03:11, 6 September 2007). The revised version has been posted. - 75.10.114.157 13:13, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up

I cleaned this up a bit. I removed anything that was either obvious vandalism (Brett Sux) or anything with fewer than 50,000 Google hits. An arbitrary number of hits perhaps, but it seemed like a good cutoff between diets people made up one day and diets that actually had some merit/popularity to them (their own sites, books written about them, they made it to expert diet review sites, etc). --74.137.224.33 (talk) 04:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List

Not to be anal but I question the merit of this article. I think articles that primarily list things are appropriate if they are intended to educate on a certain point that supports some other article where inclusion of the list in that other article would make it too long. But a list that simply attempts to capture every "widget" that somebody can think of seems to me to be non-encyclopedic and not particularly valuable for this type of work.

So if there is something specific this article is supposed to be educating the reader about, what is that thing and why is there no explanation of what that thing is? If not, can anybody offer a good reason to keep this (i.e. from the perspective that if Wikipedia started to collect lists of every type of thing out there Wikipedia would soon become rather silly)?

Comments?

Was this link deliberate

Candida control diet - Leads to the article about yiest infections, not a diet plan. Was this deliberate or the case of a merger article gone awry? 76.185.209.4 (talk) 01:27, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merging repeated topics...???

These can be founded in the list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.190.192.130 (talk) 08:04, 20 September 2008 (UTC) What is the diet of worms? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.239.66.138 (talk) 19:25, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
