Metabolic Health ⓘ
4
Limited evidence supports improvements in metabolic markers, with potential risks from nutrient deficiencies and lack of balanced dietary context.
6
May offer marginal benefits for specific sensitivities but lacks robust evidence for broad metabolic improvements.
Micronutrients ⓘ
3
Lacks essential micronutrients like B12, D, iodine, and calcium, leading to significant deficiency risks.
7
Generally meets most micronutrient needs but risks deficiencies in B12, iron, and calcium without fortified foods or supplements.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
2
Primarily water with minimal nutrients per calorie and limited phytonutrient diversity.
7
Offers moderate nutrient density with potential for high phytonutrient diversity but risks lower efficiency due to processed gluten-free products and possible nutrient gaps if not well-balanced.
Overall Health ⓘ
3
Lacks essential nutrients and lacks robust evidence for long-term health benefits.
5
Provides limited benefits for specific conditions but risks nutrient deficiencies and lacks robust evidence for general population health.
Sustainability ⓘ
4
Limited flexibility and potential nutritional deficiencies reduce long-term adherence potential.
6
Requires careful planning and can be costly, limiting long-term flexibility and accessibility for most individuals.
Lifestyle Fit ⓘ
3
Severely limits social engagement, travel adaptability, and daily routine integration due to restrictive food requirements and lack of flexibility.
7
Offers moderate flexibility for social and travel scenarios but requires planning and may limit spontaneous eating.
Practicality ⓘ
7
Requires minimal cost and effort but lacks variety and may strain adherence due to restrictive nature.
6
Requires moderate cost, careful planning, and access to specialty items but remains feasible for many with consistent effort.
Appetite Control ⓘ
3
Severely limited protein and fiber, leading to frequent hunger and unsustainable cravings.
6
May offer moderate satiety through fiber and protein but risks overeating with processed gluten-free alternatives.
Fat Quality ⓘ
1
Severely lacks essential unsaturated fats, omega-3s, and balanced fat profiles, risking cardiovascular and neurological deficiencies.
6
Offers moderate healthy fat sources but lacks emphasis on omega-3 adequacy and may include processed gluten-free items with poor fat quality.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
3
Provides minimal fiber with poor diversity and fails to meet recommended daily intake for optimal gut and metabolic health.
6
Provides moderate fiber potential but relies on individual food choices and may lack diversity in fiber sources.
Gut Health ⓘ
4
Limited fiber diversity and exclusion of prebiotic/fermented foods hinder microbiome support.
6
May improve digestion for gluten-sensitive individuals but lacks inherent fiber diversity and risk of processed gluten-free foods.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
3
Severely restricts calories and nutrients, disrupting insulin, cortisol, and sex hormone balance while lacking essential micronutrients for hormonal function.
6
Provides moderate support for hormonal balance through reduced gluten-related inflammation but lacks strong evidence for systemic hormonal regulation.
Macro Balance ⓘ
2
Severely restricts all macronutrients, compromising essential nutrient intake and metabolic function.
6
Offers flexibility in macronutrient distribution but lacks inherent structure to optimize functional ratios.
Protein Quality ⓘ
2
Severely lacks sufficient high-quality protein sources to meet recovery, satiety, and muscle preservation needs.
7
Provides adequate protein sources but risks incomplete amino acid profiles and lower digestibility if reliant on processed gluten-free products.
Taste ⓘ
2
Celery juice's strong, unappealing flavor and extreme dietary monotony severely limit enjoyment and adherence.
7
Offers moderate flavor variety and adaptability but risks blandness without intentional seasoning.
Body Composition ⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and calories, risking muscle loss and impairing training performance.
5
Offers moderate fat loss potential but lacks inherent support for lean mass preservation and resistance training performance.
Energy Balance ⓘ
2
Lacks structure for calorie control, promotes unintended overeating, and has minimal evidence for sustainable energy management.
5
Offers moderate control over calorie intake but lacks inherent structure for consistent energy management.
Lean Mass ⓘ
2
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, leading to significant muscle catabolism and impaired training performance.
6
Neutral impact on lean mass preservation due to variable protein adequacy and energy availability depending on individual adherence and food choices.
Athletic Support ⓘ
2
Severely lacks caloric density, macronutrient balance, and essential micronutrients critical for sustained athletic performance and recovery.
6
Provides adequate macronutrients but risks micronutrient deficiencies and underfueling if not carefully structured.
Weight Loss ⓘ
3
Limited calorie deficit potential with poor sustainability and minimal evidence for sustained fat loss.
5
May lead to modest weight loss in some individuals but lacks consistent evidence for sustained fat loss or calorie deficit without dietary restraint.
