Lovely post Jasmin.
Healthy eating isn't all that complicating, agreed. And as you rightly said, MODERATION is key.
However, I think there are instances in which one should be disciplined in choosing what to eat and what not to eat, as in the case of a poorly managed Diabetes mellitus. In such instances, one must be able to say no to some meals.
Still on diet, I'll love to share what i found on a journal, a study showed that patients with type 2 diabetes can reverse the condition if they stick to a very low calorie liquid diet, around 850kcal/day for 3-5months.

You're absolutely right, discipline is often very much needed when it comes to medical conditions! In those cases, individual nutrition counseling plays a huge role, and should not be neglected. In this post, I just wanted to talk about healthy eating in general. :)
Seems like an interesting study, thanks for sharing it! Weight loss is one major key in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and if one feels comfortable doing it with a liquid diet, then why not?
Thanks for you thought-provoking comment! :)
