NP here.  I disagree.  I think OP should list it.  For many people, food and dining is a very significant part of their lives.  The point of a dating profile is to find people that are compatible.  If eating omnivorous foods and not having to worry about your partner's diet when choosing food options is important, then it's good to turn that person off.  Why would OP want to waste time with someone that is not flexible or would be disappointed in accommodating her diet for health reasons?

OP, you should include this because the people that get turned off are not worth going on a date with for you, right?  Why would you want to introduce a point of tension before you even have your first date.  Find someone who can accept your diet and work with you on enjoying your time together, not someone who will stress out over how to accommodate his eating preferences with yours.

The only people I think should not include dietary restrictions are ones who have a preferred diet but will made exceptions when needed.  For example, I know a few families that are vegetarian by preference, but for social events will occasionally eat meat if they cannot find vegetarian food that they like either on a menu or at someone's house.
