Metabolic Health ⓘ
1
Severe calorie restriction and parasitic consumption disrupt metabolic homeostasis, elevate inflammation, and compromise cardiometabolic function.
7
Moderately improves blood sugar and lipid markers but may elevate LDL and inflammation risks.
Micronutrients ⓘ
1
Relies on parasitic consumption leading to systemic micronutrient deficiencies and severe health risks.
5
Provides adequate protein and fat but risks deficiencies in fiber, vitamin C, and certain minerals due to restricted plant foods.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
1
Relies on a parasitic organism with negligible nutrient density and no beneficial phytonutrients.
5
Relies heavily on calorie-dense, low-nutrient foods with limited phytonutrient diversity.
Overall Health ⓘ
1
Poses severe health risks, including parasitic infection and malnutrition, with no credible evidence supporting long-term wellness.
6
Offers short-term metabolic benefits but risks nutrient deficiencies and cardiovascular concerns with long-term adherence.
Sustainability ⓘ
1
It is biologically unsustainable, ethically indefensible, and practically unfeasible for long-term adherence.
6
Moderate sustainability due to strict initial phases and potential for social and psychological challenges, but offers flexibility in later stages.
Lifestyle Fit ⓘ
1
Causes severe social isolation, impracticality, and health risks incompatible with real-world lifestyles.
5
Limited flexibility in social settings and travel, requiring significant planning and adherence to restrictive food choices.
Practicality ⓘ
1
Requires consumption of non-typical, inaccessible, and dangerous organisms with no real-world feasibility.
6
Requires significant planning, specialty foods, and strict meal structure, limiting accessibility and affordability for many.
Appetite Control ⓘ
1
Relies on parasitic consumption, lacks essential nutrients, and induces chronic hunger with no sustainable satiety mechanisms.
7
Provides adequate protein and fat for satiety but may induce initial carb cravings and require strict adherence to maintain appetite control.
Fat Quality ⓘ
1
Relies on parasitic consumption and lacks essential healthy fats, promoting harmful fat intake.
6
Prioritizes saturated fats and omega-6 over unsaturated fats, risking cardiovascular and inflammatory risks.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
1
Provides negligible fiber and prioritizes harmful parasitic consumption over nutritional benefits.
3
Severely restricts high-fiber plant foods, leading to inadequate fiber quantity and diversity.
Gut Health ⓘ
1
Severely compromises gut health through pathogenic risks, nutrient deficiencies, and lack of microbiome-supporting components.
4
Limited fiber and prebiotic intake may hinder microbiome diversity and digestive tolerance.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
1
It is a harmful, unscientific diet that disrupts hormonal balance through extreme caloric restriction and nutrient deficiencies.
5
Limited micronutrient diversity and potential sex hormone imbalances due to high saturated fat and restricted food groups.
Macro Balance ⓘ
1
It promotes severe nutritional deficiencies, health risks, and lacks functional macronutrient balance.
6
Provides adequate protein and fat but risks metabolic rigidity and reduced carbohydrate flexibility without clear evidence-based justification.
Protein Quality ⓘ
1
Provides negligible high-quality protein with severe health risks and inadequate amino acid balance.
8
Provides high-quality animal proteins with adequate amino acids and digestibility, but may lack optimal distribution and micronutrient balance in restrictive phases.
Taste ⓘ
1
The diet involves consuming a parasite with a strong, unpalatable taste and texture, leading to severe dissatisfaction and poor adherence.
6
Offers flavorful proteins and fats but may lack variety and adaptability due to carb restrictions.
Body Composition ⓘ
1
It causes severe nutrient deficiencies, muscle wasting, and health risks without sustainable fat loss or lean mass preservation.
7
Promotes fat loss with moderate lean mass preservation but risks muscle loss if protein intake is insufficient.
Energy Balance ⓘ
2
Relies on unproven, harmful methods and lacks sustainable calorie control mechanisms.
6
Provides moderate calorie control through low-carb structure but lacks flexibility for surplus and may induce binge cycles.
Lean Mass ⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, risking significant muscle catabolism during caloric deficit.
6
Moderately supports lean mass preservation during weight loss but may compromise muscle retention due to high fat intake and potential energy deficits.
Athletic Support ⓘ
1
Severely restricts energy and nutrients, compromising performance, recovery, and long-term sustainability.
5
Provides adequate protein and fat but lacks sufficient carbohydrates for optimal energy and recovery in most athletic contexts.
Weight Loss ⓘ
1
Promotes severe health risks, ethical concerns, and unsustainable weight loss with no scientific support for long-term fat reduction.
6
Promotes initial weight loss but lacks long-term sustainability and may lead to metabolic adaptation and weight regain.
