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.

I agree, and I think balance is the key. It sounds boring, plain and simple - and it is. Anything else is a fad
