Made me wonder why people say 'diet' in reference to loosing weight when as it was pointed out to me 'diet' is a means, a choice of foods one chooses

That is one meaning of the word "diet". There's also

A special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons.

abnehmen - to take away - that's what them Germans say instead of diet. Made me wonder why people say 'diet' in reference to loosing weight when as it was pointed out to me 'diet' is a means, a choice of foods one chooses, whether or not gaining or loosing weight is the result.
