Diet in itself is only a list of what a person or an animal eats.
For humans, going on a diet usually means only eating certain things, usually in order to lose weight.
Animals aren't considered to care about weight enough to deliberately try to lose any. If they're hunggry, and there's food, they'll eat it.
