One of the biggest problems with "diets," and humans in general is they read a "prescription" and take it as gospel. They don't listen to their body and adjust as needed so that they can continue moving forward.

My diet listed above would not work for most people, but it works for me after lots of trial and error. I don't stick to that 100% either, I enjoy an occasional beer and love chocolate cake. Cheating every now and then works fine for me because the other 90% of the time I'm following my prescription. This past week I ate like shit, and felt like shit. Yesterday I ran my reset and today I feel like a rockstar.

Top 10 Lists are another great example of human behavior dooming itself. It doesn't matter what time of day Joe Blow wakes up and starts working, if that time doesn't work for you, you are setting yourself up for failure. Experiment, play around, see what works and what doesn't. After many iterations you will find a great system for you.
