That is definitelly NOT the truth. The "advice" is so non actionable that one doesn't know where to start - what is "good" food? you never take pills? Move arou

  Exactly. And what most people tend to think is "healthy" is not based on sound science of any kind. These questions you ask are important because one can't take something like diet and exercise and treat them in a reductive sense. One can lose weight by eating nothing but plant leaves. Is that "good" food or a "good" diet? Such a diet would be unsustainable in the long run simply because said food is neither dense enough in energy nor dense enough in nutrients. That doesn't sound particularly good to me. But many people equate salad to being "healthy", such that they will add lettuce to the things they actually want to eat because of a mystical believe that plant material is inherently good.

    Of course. People like to reduce it to 2 binary things as usual, but there is nothing simple or easy or cheap about maintaining your health. Its extremely hard. You need to measure things yourself all the time, know a lot of theory, and experiment a lot, because due to bio-individuality you can extrapolate from other people findings in a limited manner.
