“I’ve lost loads of weight, just by wearing bread around my head. It’s a loaf hat diet”

Instead of a “low fat diet,” what about a “loaf hat diet”?

Strapping bread to my cranium, and occasionally nibbling on it can be a bit inconvenient, but my doctor has put me on a loaf hat diet.

If you wear all the bread you have in your house on your head, you’ll lose weight because it stops you eating it.
It’s the loaf hat diet.

I would say wearing a loaf of bread like a hat might make one a pumper-knuckle-head.
