A diet that you can follow forever is called a lifestyle. For many diets and many people, it's really hard to convert into a lifestyle, because the of the restrictions and predictable cravings.

Side note, there's a thing called the Potato Hack [0] that proposes 3-5 day potato-only diets for short term fixes. A "potato fast" if you will.

A lifestyle involves all sorts of non-diet things.

It is a bit odd, though, that we use “going on a diet” to describe a short term change.

But I think the most accurate phrase would be that you’ve “changed your diet,” (implicitly, permanently).
