I'm no expert, but my take is that you shouldn't really trust anyone who claims that there is only 1 way to lose weght or eat a healty diet, whether it be a Paleo diet, or the canada food plan, or their own methods.

The fact of the matter is, everyone is different. Depending on your previous lifestyle, your current lifestyle, your activity level, and what kind of activity you do, and what your goals are (run a marathon, vs straight up body compostion), you're going to have different requirements.

If you see anyone who is trying to prescribe a certain diet without asking you about all those factors and more, then I would't be using them as a source of truth.
