Some of the Zombie Creation Theories are really iff-y, even for zombies. A bacterium is VERY unlikely, especially so, considering that a bacteria would have to have it significant mass to affect the brain to that degree; a virus alter's the host's pre-existing cells to create more virus cells, a bacteria would develop it's own mass, as opposed to replacing normal brain cells; so at first it'd act more like a tumor.
"Chemical agents" and "Drugs" are the same thing. Diet pills seem pretty unlikely as well, just because not only do they generally not affect the brain like that, but many diet pills are just placebo's.
Creating zombies using magic is technically called necromancing, and would create a whole new slew of possibilities. Like inhuman strength that shouldn't be possible, even for something that doesn't feel pain.
BTW, if I remember correctly, in World War Z, a person that just breaks down mentally and begins to think their a zombie is called a "quisling."
