The truth about a good diet is not reducible to a simple rule of thumb; like life itself, it's more nuanced than that.

I agree, though the famous 7 word advice comes to mind.

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

In this sense, I think dietary advice has been relatively stable over the decades, though there is definitely arguments over how much is "too much" and what proportion is "mostly". Perhaps even what is covered by "plants".
