This is just a terrible, terrible article. It's not actually saying anything.
Here is how I've looked at this and I think most people would do well to do the same.
What are your goals? Are you obese and looking to lose a massive amount of weight? Are you a bit overweight and looking to lose the last 10 lbs? Are you looking to "look better naked"? Are you looking to gain muscle? Are you looking to get better at x, y or z sport? Are you looking to just have a decent lifestyle? Are you looking to maximize your lifespan?
There are others, but you get the idea. Without knowing the goal, you can't know how to eat. There are quite different approaches to all of the above and if you just choose one approach, it probably won't be optimal for the goal you have.
I hate articles like this, they paint every approach with the same brush and you can't possibly do that. Know your freakin' goal and then optimize your eating to support that goal.
If anyone wants some suggestions on what/how to eat, just state your goal and we an riff from there. It really isn't that tough.
I think the point is that in the short term goals can vary a lot (e.g. "obese and looking to lose a massive amount of weight" vs wanting to tone up) but in the long term they converge on having a long, healthy life.
