Choosing to listen to anyone talk about diets has never seemed to make sense. Have you ever noticed that a lot of diet advocates are really messed up? Take Oprah for example: fat, ugly, dumb, leftist. Smell a vegan. Now that is messed up. People waste their time and money on diets usually to only temporary success. Repeating stupid and getting the same results over and over again.
The solution to a healthy body is quite simple. Don't listen to the government. Don't listen to the UN. Don't listen anyone pimping a diet. Simply eat what you want, just less of it. Then exercise and remain active.

I want to eat refined white flour, sugar, macaroni, and bread. I can eat all that and remain healthy?
In general, when it comes to diets, I’d agree with you, but Keto really does work. The folks I know who have switched to Keto have seen dramatic improvements in their life, including coming off meds they’d been on for years.
In addition to your recommendations (eating less and exercise), I always tell folks if you can’t eat properly, at least watch three things: water, weight and sleep. Keeping your weight down, and getting plenty of water (I drink around a gallon a day) and sleep will do wonders for your health.

Eric Hoffer observed that the strongest radicals and socialists he knew were all into dietary fads, even things as silly as chewing their food exactly X number of times. He likened it to a sort of secular purification ritual.
That is true with regard to vegan diets. Everybody I know that promote that lifestyle (including celebrities) are NOT people that I want to be like. All of them are a combination of fat, miserable and unhappy.
This is very poor optics for those promoting the vegan lifestyle. They need to get some better spokesmen!
