Metabolic Health ⓘ
3
Promotes short-term weight loss but lacks sustained metabolic benefits and may impair glucose regulation and lipid profiles.
4
Temporarily lowers calorie intake but lacks long-term metabolic benefits and may induce nutrient deficiencies.
Micronutrients ⓘ
2
Severely lacks essential vitamins and minerals due to extreme dietary restrictions and poor bioavailability.
3
Severely lacks essential vitamins and minerals, leading to significant deficiencies.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
1
Relies on calorie-dense, low-nutrient liquids with minimal phytonutrient diversity and poor bioavailability.
3
Relies on low-variety, water-rich foods with limited nutrient concentration per calorie.
Overall Health ⓘ
2
Severe nutrient deficiencies and lack of long-term health benefits due to extreme restriction and limited scientific support.
2
Severe nutrient deficiencies and unsustainable restrictions compromise long-term health and metabolic function.
Sustainability ⓘ
2
Requires extreme restriction, lacks flexibility, and is unsustainable for long-term adherence.
2
Severely restricts food variety and nutrient balance, making long-term adherence impractical and unsustainable.
Lifestyle Fit ⓘ
2
Severely restricts social interaction, travel flexibility, and daily routine integration due to its rigid liquid-only structure.
3
Severely restricts social interactions, travel adaptability, and daily convenience, causing significant lifestyle disruption.
Practicality ⓘ
3
Requires strict adherence to a liquid diet with limited food variety, posing challenges in long-term sustainability and daily integration.
7
Offers low cost and accessibility but requires strict meal repetition and limited variety, reducing long-term practicality.
Appetite Control ⓘ
2
Severely restricts protein and fiber, leading to extreme hunger, cravings, and unsustainable appetite management.
5
Limited protein and restrictive nature may cause hunger but low energy density provides temporary satiety.
Fat Quality ⓘ
3
Severely lacks essential healthy fats and omega-3s, promoting an imbalanced fat profile with potential cardiovascular and hormonal risks.
2
Severely restricts essential healthy fats and lacks omega-3 sources, promoting an imbalanced and deficient fat profile.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
1
Provides negligible fiber, risking digestive distress and metabolic instability.
3
Primarily relies on limited insoluble fiber from cabbage, lacking diversity and functional benefits for long-term gut and metabolic health.
Gut Health ⓘ
1
Severely restricts dietary fiber, prebiotics, and nutrient diversity, likely impairing microbiome diversity and causing digestive distress.
3
Severely restricts dietary diversity and may impair microbiome diversity and digestive tolerance.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
2
Severely restricts nutrients and calories, disrupting insulin, cortisol, sex hormones, and thyroid function while lacking essential micronutrients critical for hormonal balance.
2
Severe caloric restriction and nutrient deficiencies disrupt insulin, cortisol, sex hormones, and thyroid function.
Macro Balance ⓘ
2
Severely restricts essential macronutrients, leading to nutrient deficiencies, metabolic stress, and poor long-term sustainability.
3
Significantly low in protein and fat, leading to poor macro balance.
Protein Quality ⓘ
1
Provides negligible protein with incomplete amino acid profile and insufficient quantity for recovery or satiety.
2
Severely inadequate in essential amino acids and digestible protein sources, leading to significant muscle catabolism and satiety deficits.
Taste ⓘ
2
Primarily consists of bland liquids with limited flavor variety, leading to poor palatability and adherence.
3
Limited flavor variety and repetitive meals reduce long-term enjoyment and adherence.
Body Composition ⓘ
2
Severely restricts protein and calories, leading to significant lean mass loss and metabolic slowdown.
3
Primarily induces water and glycogen loss with minimal fat loss and significant lean mass risk.
Energy Balance ⓘ
2
Severely restricts calorie awareness and control, leading to unreliable energy management and potential overeating.
4
Limited calorie control due to restrictive structure and poor satiety, leading to unsustainable energy management.
Lean Mass ⓘ
1
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, leading to significant muscle catabolism and impaired muscle protein synthesis.
2
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, leading to significant muscle catabolism during weight loss.
Athletic Support ⓘ
2
Severely restricts energy, protein, and essential micronutrients critical for athletic performance and recovery.
2
Severely limits energy, macronutrients, and recovery-supporting nutrients critical for athletic performance.
Weight Loss ⓘ
2
Promotes rapid water and glycogen loss but lacks sustained fat loss, metabolic sustainability, and long-term adherence.
3
Creates a temporary calorie deficit but risks muscle loss, metabolic slowdown, and poor long-term adherence.
