And, if you want to get technical, optimal implies both an objective function to measure the solution by, and a proof that no solutions are superior. "Optimize your diet" seems better than "optimal diets," but even then "four proven diets" seems superior to both of those.
"A directed search of the space of diet configurations" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
I don't know, that title seems pretty awesome to me. (But my research is also in direct search methods, so...)
