Given than nobody can seem to agree on what a ‘healthy diet’ looks like, what do you do? And why do you choose that diet?

You're wrong but it's OK. Eat vegetables. " Things that are green " if it helps you. Not too much meat, not too much bread and pasta. That's it, it's easy. 2 or 3 times a day, not more. Stop eating sugar.

    Not too much sugar. Bread and pasta are fine as long as they're not just cake disguised as bread (looking at you, America).

    Everything in moderation

    The average person wants to be eating around 2,000-2,500 calories in a day unless you're trying to put weight on or cut weight

    Carbs shouldn't make up more than about 50-60% of that

    If you're eating half a loaf of bread a day, you're gonna have a bad time even if it's good quality bread

    Even without sugar, bread and pasta are usually from white flour, that is quite processed and should not be eaten too often. You can replace by rice and other cereals or whole grain, they are all better options

    do remember proteins, it's not just a fad

    0.8 g / body kg / day

    It is a little bit of a fad because you're probably getting enough protein. People should be treating fiber the way protein is treated. 90% of western diets do not have enough fiber.
