I don't follow any diets, never have. Instead I follow a healthy lifestyle including mostly ridiculously nutritious foods. Nothing is off limits - I can eat anything, but because I value my health I very often choose only healthy things to eat. I do have preferences, some strong, but taste most often loses to nutrition. I study nutrition using many sources. I can walk down a grocery store isle and at a glance I can pick out the healthiest items, but I read the labels anyway. I hear "there's nothing to eat!" from the kitchen but I can step in there, whip up a new and delicious healthy meal in no time without a plan or even a recipe.
I eat mostly fresh fruits and vegetables. I shop and cook for myself and my family but they help out too. When I cook, I make extra for later convenience. I eat very few prepared foods and in small quantities when I do. I set an excellent example for my family or anyone else who's paying attention.
Exercise is just as important as diet. I exert a lot of energy so I require good fuel to keep the pace.
My meal is a main course of nutrients and it comes with a side order of freedom and happiness, with cheese on top! Lots of cheese.
