Any dietary regime with a name (particularly a trademarkable one) is highly suspect in my book, but Mark Bittman’s new diet, VB6, which stands for “[eat] vegan before 6 p.m.,” seems like it could be the least annoying of all of them because you can still eat a normal, unfussy dinner with your friends and family.
I suggest adding another letter to the mix, however. The letter S. SVB6: “silent vegan before 6.” Meaning, don’t tell everyone about your awesome, world-saving diet. Just keep that shit to yourself. (I’m looking at you, palaeo dieters.)
