Metabolic Health ⓘ
4
Limited nutrient diversity and high glycemic load may impair blood sugar stability and lipid profiles.
3
Limited nutrient density and potential for metabolic stress due to restrictive caloric intake and imbalanced macronutrient profile.
Micronutrients ⓘ
3
Lacks critical micronutrients like vitamin E, selenium, and zinc, risking deficiencies without supplementation.
2
Fruitarian diet lacks essential micronutrients like B12, D, iodine, and zinc without supplementation, leading to chronic deficiencies.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
4
Limited phytonutrient diversity and narrow food selection reduce nutrient density despite some beneficial components.
5
Provides moderate nutrient density per calorie but lacks phytonutrient diversity and essential nutrients like protein and fat.
Overall Health ⓘ
3
Severely limited nutrient diversity and risk of deficiencies outweigh potential short-term metabolic benefits.
3
Severe nutrient deficiencies and long-term health risks outweigh potential benefits due to lack of protein, fats, and essential micronutrients.
Sustainability ⓘ
3
Severely restrictive and monotonous, leading to poor long-term adherence and psychological strain.
2
Severely restrictive, nutrient-deficient, and impractical for long-term adherence due to limited food variety, accessibility, and social feasibility.
Lifestyle Fit ⓘ
2
Severely restricts social interactions, travel flexibility, and daily routine adaptability, making long-term adherence highly impractical.
3
Severely limits social engagement, travel flexibility, and daily routine integration due to restrictive food choices and logistical challenges.
Practicality ⓘ
3
Severely limited food variety and nutritional adequacy hinder long-term adherence and real-world feasibility.
2
Requires extreme cost, limited food variety, and impractical meal planning for long-term adherence.
Appetite Control ⓘ
3
Limited protein and fiber, high glycemic load, and restrictive nature increase hunger and cravings.
3
Severely limited protein and fat intake likely increases hunger and cravings while high sugar content destabilizes appetite regulation.
Fat Quality ⓘ
2
Severely lacks essential unsaturated fats, omega-3s, and practical sustainable fat sources.
3
Severely lacks essential long-chain omega-3s and high-quality unsaturated fats, risking cardiovascular and neurological deficiencies.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
2
Severely insufficient fiber quantity and diversity, failing to meet basic dietary recommendations for gut and metabolic health.
6
Provides adequate fiber quantity but lacks diversity and may cause digestive challenges.
Gut Health ⓘ
3
Severely limited fiber diversity and lacks prebiotic/fermented foods, risking gut microbiome imbalance and digestive distress.
4
Limited fiber diversity and exclusion of prebiotic/fermented foods hinder microbiome diversity and digestive balance.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
3
Limited macronutrient diversity and potential micronutrient deficiencies may disrupt hormonal balance and stability.
3
Severely restricts essential fats, proteins, and micronutrients critical for hormone synthesis and regulation.
Macro Balance ⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and fat while overemphasizing simple carbohydrates, leading to metabolic and satiety imbalances.
2
Severely deficient in protein and fat, leading to critical nutrient gaps and metabolic dysfunction.
Protein Quality ⓘ
5
Provides moderate-quality protein from skim milk but lacks sufficient quantity and amino acid completeness when relying heavily on bananas.
1
Severely deficient in essential amino acids, digestible protein, and overall sufficiency for recovery and satiety.
Taste ⓘ
2
Lacks flavor variety and leads to monotonous, unappealing meals.
3
Limited flavor variety and potential monotony reduce long-term enjoyment and adherence.
Body Composition ⓘ
3
Limited protein and caloric intake risk significant lean mass loss while promoting fat loss.
2
Severe protein deficiency and muscle loss risk compromise fat-to-muscle ratio.
Energy Balance ⓘ
3
Severely restricts food variety, risking uncontrolled calorie intake and poor satiety, with limited flexibility for different energy goals.
3
Limited calorie control and satiety due to low protein/fat, restricted flexibility, and potential under-eating.
Lean Mass ⓘ
3
Severely limited protein and energy availability compromises muscle preservation and growth.
2
Severely limits protein and essential amino acids, risking significant muscle loss during caloric restriction.
Athletic Support ⓘ
3
Severely limits macronutrient diversity and essential micronutrients critical for sustained athletic performance and recovery.
2
Severely limits caloric and protein intake, risking energy deficits and impaired recovery.
Weight Loss ⓘ
4
Limited calorie deficit potential with poor sustainability and risk of muscle loss.
3
Limited calorie deficit potential, risks of nutrient deficiencies and muscle loss, and poor long-term sustainability hinder effective fat loss.
