They're not. People diet to lose weight, depending on the diet, you might not get all the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs, but it will not drastically harm you.

Some diets are to build muscle, in which cases your body could take a lot of protein, but that will not harm you.

It's not. A study published in the National Institutes of Health Library in March 2014 stated: "The highest Healthy-Eating-Index (HEI-2010) total scores were found for the vegans, and the lowest for omnivores."
