Yep it's about sustainability and being able to adhere to the healthy lifestyle change. What I found is that if you ONLY diet you are less likely to adhere to the diet but when you go all in and you combine it with goal oriented exercise/lifting, then all of a sudden you don't want to mess up your diet because you want those gains to come in and you don't want to mess up because you're more invested. It's a balancing act between having some rules and being able to bend them within those rules.
This may not sound healthy to some but depending on your goals you might like this:
Take any bread with lots of sesame seeds, toast it, slice up some good quality tomatoes, put it on top of the bread, add some good quality olive oil on top, salt and pepper. So simple yet so good, you may even get addicted.
The second, same with the bread with sesame seeds that is toasted works well and half a properly ripe avocado on top, insanely good, can add salt or whatever else you like. Feels like you're eating a rich butter spread meantime you're getting a ton of micronutrients, yes it has fat but it's healthy fat.
For proteins, like salmon, lamb, chicken, turkey and a thai vegetable mix is a win.
