A well balanced diet with lots of variety has a long well established history of being best. Certainly there are some medical conditions that require avoidance of certain specific antagonists, but otherwise it's not good to over emphasize one particular food group and you can certainly eat a well balanced diet without eating overly processed foods. IMO eating a lopsided diet because it makes it easy to lose weight is not a worthwhile tradeoff if it can be avoided, and I have been able to avoid it while losing considerable weight.
