Given than nobody can seem to agree on what a ‘healthy diet’ looks like, what do you do? And why do you choose that diet?

    You’re wrong but it’s OK. Eat vegetables. " Things that are green " if it helps you. Not too much meat, not too much bread and pasta. That’s it, it’s easy. 2 or 3 times a day, not more. Stop eating sugar.

      Not too much sugar. Bread and pasta are fine as long as they’re not just cake disguised as bread (looking at you, America).

        Everything in moderation

        The average person wants to be eating around 2,000-2,500 calories in a day unless you’re trying to put weight on or cut weight

        Carbs shouldn’t make up more than about 50-60% of that

        If you’re eating half a loaf of bread a day, you’re gonna have a bad time even if it’s good quality bread

        It is a little bit of a fad because you’re probably getting enough protein. People should be treating fiber the way protein is treated. 90% of western diets do not have enough fiber.

          The real reason people complain about stomach issues after taco bell. So much fiber that most people aren’t used to.
