I think the name change was at least 1-2 years ago possibly to easier distinguish their different programs (rather than just calling them 1, 2 , 3, etc). I learned well after the fact on this forum.
I didn't pay that much attention to the diet part. They always emphasized that diet was the key aspect for fat loss and as far as I know they always advocated intermittent fasting as an option. It did open my mind to something I would have immediately dismissed, though... Well, I agree about the Venus forum, though diet isn't really a topic for VF. So I won't say more. The extent of the diet advice and the relentless sales stuff is a bit annoying so I have tuned out to the point I am really out of date on anything Venus related. The paper workouts are really good though (at least most of them, I read some reviews about the system that use to be VI 3 that doesn't sound that great).
