It's lovingly called the "Bacon Diet", which might imply that it's simply one of the best diets around (in the event that you are a meat-eater).

I [heart] Almonds!

There was a point when I first started this diet when I thought I wasn't going to make it. I wasn't going to last a week, let alone years.
