The Fat Nutritionist is absolutely right that eating what you want to eat doesn't mean you're going to eat a cake for dinner and a bacon cake for breakfast - hopefully over time you're going to pay attention to your body and learn how it feels and how that changes depending on what you eat.
And with writing, too, I think you just have to put in the time and effort with developing your craft, and you'll develop an intuitive knowledge of the rhythms of prose. But I don't think that you'll develop that kind of intuitive knowledge while you're obsessing about not using adverbs, any more than you'll learn to listen to your body by following verbatim the latest diet fad.
