Metabolic Health ⓘ
4
May temporarily improve some markers but risks blood sugar instability and nutrient deficiencies.
6
May marginally improve inflammation and nutrient density but lacks robust evidence for consistent metabolic health benefits.
Micronutrients ⓘ
2
Severely lacks critical micronutrients like B12, D, and iodine without fortification or supplementation.
4
Lacks essential micronutrients like B12, vitamin D, and iodine without supplementation or fortification.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
4
Provides moderate nutrient content per calorie but lacks fiber and may have high sugar content reducing efficiency.
7
Offers moderate nutrient density with potential phytonutrient benefits but may lack variety and whole-food emphasis.
Overall Health ⓘ
3
Severely limits essential nutrients and long-term sustainability while lacking robust evidence for chronic disease prevention.
6
Offers marginal benefits in reducing pesticide exposure but lacks robust evidence for long-term disease prevention and nutritional adequacy compared to other dietary patterns.
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 higher cost and limited accessibility, reducing 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.
6
Offers moderate flexibility in social and travel scenarios but requires careful planning and access to organic options, limiting spontaneity and convenience.
Practicality ⓘ
2
Requires significant financial cost, specialized equipment, and time-intensive preparation, making long-term adherence highly impractical for most individuals.
5
Requires higher costs and limited accessibility compared to conventional diets, reducing long-term feasibility for most.
Appetite Control ⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and fiber, leading to significant hunger and cravings due to low satiety and glycemic instability.
7
Provides adequate protein and fiber but may struggle with glycemic stability and long-term satiety without careful planning.
Fat Quality ⓘ
3
Severely lacks essential healthy fats and omega-3s, risking cardiovascular and hormonal imbalances.
6
Provides moderate quality fats with some whole-food sources but lacks optimal omega-3 to omega-6 balance and may rely on processed organic foods.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
3
Severely limited fiber quantity, type diversity, and functional outcomes due to reliance on low-fiber juices and potential digestive distress.
7
Provides adequate fiber quantity and diversity from whole organic foods but may lack specific emphasis on gut microbiome benefits.
Gut Health ⓘ
3
Severely limits dietary fiber diversity and excludes prebiotic/fermented foods, risking digestive distress and reduced microbiome diversity.
7
Promotes fiber diversity and plant-based nutrient density but may lack fermented foods and prebiotic specificity.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
3
Severely restricts macronutrients and micronutrients critical for hormonal balance, risking insulin instability, cortisol elevation, and sex hormone deficiencies.
6
Provides moderate nutrient density but lacks robust evidence on specific hormonal outcomes.
Macro Balance ⓘ
2
Severely lacks protein and fat, promotes excessive sugar intake, and lacks adaptability for functional health outcomes.
5
Lacks sufficient protein and may overly emphasize carbohydrates without clear evidence-based justification.
Protein Quality ⓘ
1
Severely lacks sufficient high-quality protein for muscle recovery and satiety.
5
Provides adequate protein quantity but lacks optimal amino acid balance and digestibility compared to animal-based sources.
Taste ⓘ
3
Limited flavor variety and potential for monotony reduce long-term enjoyment and adherence.
6
Offers moderate flavor variety but lacks inherent taste superiority over non-organic diets.
Body Composition ⓘ
3
Severely limits protein intake and energy availability, risking lean mass loss and compromising training performance.
6
May support moderate fat loss but risks lean mass loss due to variable protein adequacy and reliance on plant-based sources.
Energy Balance ⓘ
3
Juice fasting severely restricts calorie control, satiety, and flexibility, leading to unreliable energy management.
5
Limited structure for calorie control but may support satiety through fiber-rich organic foods.
Lean Mass ⓘ
2
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, leading to significant muscle catabolism during fasting periods.
6
Provides adequate protein but risks muscle loss if not meticulously planned with sufficient energy and amino acid balance.
Athletic Support ⓘ
2
Severely limits energy, protein, and fats essential for athletic performance and recovery.
6
Provides adequate nutrients for general athletic needs but may lack specific timing strategies and protein adequacy in strict plant-based versions.
Weight Loss ⓘ
5
Provides short-term calorie deficit but lacks sustainability, risks muscle loss, and has limited evidence for long-term fat loss.
6
Provides moderate satiety from whole foods but lacks robust evidence for sustained fat loss compared to other structured diets.
