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?

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

      Even without sugar, bread and pasta are usually from white flour, that is quite processed and should not be eaten too often. You can replace by rice and other cereals or whole grain, they are all better options

      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
