Metabolic Health ⓘ
4
May temporarily improve some markers but risks blood sugar instability and nutrient deficiencies.
6
May improve blood sugar and inflammation in specific cases but lacks consistent long-term metabolic benefits across diverse populations.
Micronutrients ⓘ
2
Severely lacks critical micronutrients like B12, D, and iodine without fortification or supplementation.
4
Risks significant deficiencies in B12, vitamin D, and iron without structured supplementation or fortified foods.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
4
Provides moderate nutrient content per calorie but lacks fiber and may have high sugar content reducing efficiency.
6
Limited phytonutrient diversity and potential for nutrient dilution due to restrictive food exclusions.
Overall Health ⓘ
3
Severely limits essential nutrients and long-term sustainability while lacking robust evidence for chronic disease prevention.
5
Limited nutritional adequacy and long-term sustainability risks, with benefits mainly for specific intolerances rather than broad overall health.
Sustainability ⓘ
3
Requires extreme dietary restriction, lacks flexibility, and is impractical for long-term adherence due to cost, preparation demands, and psychological strain.
5
Requires significant short-term restriction and complex reintroduction phases, limiting long-term practicality and flexibility.
Lifestyle Fit ⓘ
2
Severely restricts social engagement, travel flexibility, and daily routine integration, making long-term adherence impractical for most lifestyles.
4
Requires strict food restrictions that limit social flexibility, travel adaptability, and daily convenience, increasing stress and reducing long-term adherence potential.
Practicality ⓘ
2
Requires significant financial cost, specialized equipment, and time-intensive preparation, making long-term adherence highly impractical for most individuals.
5
Requires significant planning, tracking, and cost that may hinder long-term adherence for most individuals.
Appetite Control ⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and fiber, leading to significant hunger and cravings due to low satiety and glycemic instability.
6
Moderately supports satiety through protein and fiber but risks cravings from restrictive food exclusions.
Fat Quality ⓘ
3
Severely lacks essential healthy fats and omega-3s, risking cardiovascular and hormonal imbalances.
5
Limited emphasis on healthy fats and omega-3 balance, with potential for inadequate EPA/DHA intake in strict plant-based variations.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
3
Severely limited fiber quantity, type diversity, and functional outcomes due to reliance on low-fiber juices and potential digestive distress.
5
Limited fiber diversity and potential shortfall in quantity unless carefully managed with whole foods.
Gut Health ⓘ
3
Severely limits dietary fiber diversity and excludes prebiotic/fermented foods, risking digestive distress and reduced microbiome diversity.
6
Provides temporary symptom relief but lacks comprehensive support for microbiome diversity and long-term gut health.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
3
Severely restricts macronutrients and micronutrients critical for hormonal balance, risking insulin instability, cortisol elevation, and sex hormone deficiencies.
5
Limited evidence supports hormonal regulation, with risks of nutrient deficiencies and stress-induced cortisol elevation.
Macro Balance ⓘ
2
Severely lacks protein and fat, promotes excessive sugar intake, and lacks adaptability for functional health outcomes.
4
Lacks structured macronutrient ratios and prioritizes food elimination over balanced energy distribution.
Protein Quality ⓘ
1
Severely lacks sufficient high-quality protein for muscle recovery and satiety.
5
Provides variable protein quality with potential gaps in amino acid completeness and digestibility due to restrictive elimination phases.
Taste ⓘ
3
Limited flavor variety and potential for monotony reduce long-term enjoyment and adherence.
5
Limited flavor variety and potential for monotonous meals during elimination phase reduce overall enjoyment.
Body Composition ⓘ
3
Severely limits protein intake and energy availability, risking lean mass loss and compromising training performance.
5
Limited evidence supports fat loss without significant lean mass loss, but risks of inadequate protein and nutrient gaps may compromise muscle preservation.
Energy Balance ⓘ
3
Juice fasting severely restricts calorie control, satiety, and flexibility, leading to unreliable energy management.
4
Limited support for structured calorie control and satiety regulation without additional dietary strategies.
Lean Mass ⓘ
2
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, leading to significant muscle catabolism during fasting periods.
5
Limited support for lean mass preservation due to variable protein adequacy and potential energy deficits during restrictive phases.
Athletic Support ⓘ
2
Severely limits energy, protein, and fats essential for athletic performance and recovery.
5
May temporarily reduce inflammation but risks nutrient deficiencies and inadequate energy for sustained athletic performance.
Weight Loss ⓘ
5
Provides short-term calorie deficit but lacks sustainability, risks muscle loss, and has limited evidence for long-term fat loss.
6
May support moderate weight loss through calorie restriction but lacks robust evidence for sustained fat loss and long-term adherence.
