That’s lifestyle not diet

Interestingly enough, the etymology is more in step with OP's musings. But yes, today we think of the English word 'diet' as referring to food -- either to mean our usual eating habits, or a special restriction used for the purpose of losing weight.
Diet <= food eaten regularly / habitually <= a daily apportionment of food and labor <= 'a prescribed way of life' < 'way of life', regimen <=> diaeta
As an additional point of interest, by studying this I finally get where the phrase 'Diet of Worms' (the council of city named wurms) originates. diaeta => regimen => daily duty, assembly => council => Diet
