I hate all the fad around diet and exercise.

It does all depend on your goals. But, for most people trying to lose some fat mass, understanding calories in/out, macros and calorie counting is enough stay at low bf levels indefinitely. Everything else is a distraction.

I grew up a vegetarian in the era of "Atkins". I was significantly deficient in protein and, it wasn't until I made a conscious effort to fix it in my 20s than my body composition changed for the better. No fad diets, just a basic understanding of macros.

You could tell the average person everything they need to know to manage their body composition for their whole life in the time it takes to drink a coffee.
