"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
Best dietary advice I've ever heard. We've evolved a wide tolerance in living conditions, including diet. However, for most of our history plants have been abundant and meat less so. It makes sense that that's the basic balance that works best for us. Not some fad gluten-free paleo Atkins diet, just a simple "everything in moderation" mentality with an extra helping of veggies. Done. That, and delta weight = calories consumed - calories expended. Nothing magic there either.
Mind you, I don't actually follow any of this advice. IMHO, plants aren't food, plants are what food eats. And they taste icky. But if I were to get serious about my health and weight, "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." would be my mantra.
