Yesterday while looking for references to the ketogenic diet in treating epilepsy, I was charmed to see this on Epilepsy Action’s page about ketogenic diets for children:
Children as young as four have been taught to say, “No thank you, I’m on a magic diet”.
The Magic Diet - I like it. I’m going to use it. It sounds so much less clinical than “low-carb” and far less controversial than “Atkins.”
Migraine aura picture from 
“The Magic Diet”…I really like that too. I agree that telling the ‘inquiring minds’ you’re doing ‘low-carb’ or ‘Atkins’ causes them to gasp and turn their hearing aid off. “The Magic Diet” at least keeps their curiosity and interest for a few minutes longer.
Another neat, humorous one I heard about was the “Avoidance Diet”. I “Avoid” sugar and refined carbs!
