A varying diet of real food is best. Just eat real food. Play around with your protein, carb and fat ratios and find what works well for you. Just eat real food. Did I mention just eat real food?

eating too much meat is much worse than eating too many vegetables or fruits because of the fact that most meats are not real food. Most meats come between two patties, they're infused with preservatives or they are fried. The very reason you say to eat real food is the same as why I say eat mostly fruits and vegetables. Walk into the grocery store, in the produce section you have mostly real food and then pretty much the rest of the store is all fake and or processed food, unless you get some fresh cut meat. Whole grains are important, and cutting them out completely is a mistake, I agree.
That's why I said a diet mostly of fruits and vegetables with the extreme emphasis on vegetables. Too much of one thing over another is bad for you, but if you had to live on one food group the best choice would be vegetables especially the green and leafy ones. I've lived on Kale, Spinach, Celery and Broccoli and felt fine. I've also lived on Cheeseburgers and fries and I felt like dying, so yeah, eat real foods.
