Isn't it more correct to say ' go on a diet '? And that keep is only used if you want to say 's tick/keep to your diet'?

I think "go on a diet" sounds rather colloquial. I need a phrase that would be appropriate for medical writing. :-)

Hm, medical right? What about 'to put someone on a regimen'
That's quite formal.
