She points out that people often swing from no restrictions straight to severe ones, and that heavy restriction of favorite foods is what tends to trigger overeating later. Her recommendation is mostly whole foods you genuinely enjoy, with room left for treats. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.leagendersfitness.com/news/2019/foods-you-dont-need-to-cut-out-of-your-diet-to-be-healthy Quotes to ponder: "The bottom line is you don't need to eliminate any food entirely to lose weight and be healthy." "It is often when we heavily restrict our favorite foods that we end up over-eating in response." "There aren't any magic foods that by themselves cause you to lose weight and no evil foods that cause you to gain weight on their own."
