2. Vegetarian (mostly fruits/vegetables, sometimes dairy and eggs)
Can be sustainable, if your dairy and egg intake is good. Also you need proteins. Never was really clear on how to get lots of those from veggies. But it's possible to strike a good balance here.

Proteins come from beans. There are other things, but beans are the main source of vegetarian protein I'm aware of.
3. Vegan (absolutely no animal products)
V. bad. Lots of deficiences.

Such as? I'm not aware of any necessary nutrient that you can't get from some plant, somewhere. I admit it's difficult (I'm not Vegan, myself) but I'm reasonably sure it can be done, and that you'd be healthier for it if you managed it well.
5. Paleolithic Diet (no potatoes, grains, dairy or beans, encouraged lean meat consumption, most plants, mostly water/tea as beverage)
This sounds like a primitive Atkins. Bof.

Nah not at all. Atkins works by cutting out carbs, almost entirely. From the sounds of this diet, "most plants" likely includes most fruits, and fruits have PLENTY of carbs.
6. Raw Food Diet (mostly like Paleolithic diet, but NO COOKING ALLOWED)
That's just funny

Well I have heard that heating foods destroys a lot of the nutrients in them. It probably IS healthier to not cook your food.
Diets: your opinion and would you follow them?
