This tracks with food writer Michael Pollan's advice for eating a healthy diet. In his view, healthy eating for most people means sticking to a limited set of rules and habits, without overcomplicating the affair. The main rules are [1]:

"1. Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

2. Eating healthy is common sense. Don’t make it complicated.

3. Avoid processed foods and ingredients you don’t recognize.

4. Use meat for flavor, not the main course.

5. Pay more, eat less."

While diet can be a contentious issue (with debates on meal timing, how many meals per day to eat, how much fat versus protein versus carbohydrates to eat per day, etc.), I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Pollan's central message that you eating healthily largely means limiting portion sizes and choosing fresh food over processed meals.
