Metabolic Health ⓘ
1
Severe calorie restriction and parasitic consumption disrupt metabolic homeostasis, elevate inflammation, and compromise cardiometabolic function.
9
Strongly improves blood sugar, lipid profiles, and inflammation while maintaining metabolic flexibility.
Micronutrients ⓘ
1
Relies on parasitic consumption leading to systemic micronutrient deficiencies and severe health risks.
8
Provides adequate coverage of most essential micronutrients but may require attention to vitamin B12, D, and iron bioavailability in certain scenarios.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
1
Relies on a parasitic organism with negligible nutrient density and no beneficial phytonutrients.
9
Prioritizes diverse, minimally processed plant foods with high phytonutrient density and bioavailability.
Overall Health ⓘ
1
Poses severe health risks, including parasitic infection and malnutrition, with no credible evidence supporting long-term wellness.
9
Strongly supports long-term metabolic health, reduces chronic disease risk, and maintains nutritional adequacy without excessive restrictions.
Sustainability ⓘ
1
It is biologically unsustainable, ethically indefensible, and practically unfeasible for long-term adherence.
9
It offers high flexibility, accessibility, and long-term adherence potential with minimal psychological strain.
Lifestyle Fit ⓘ
1
Causes severe social isolation, impracticality, and health risks incompatible with real-world lifestyles.
9
Offers high flexibility and social compatibility with minimal preparation demands.
Practicality ⓘ
1
Requires consumption of non-typical, inaccessible, and dangerous organisms with no real-world feasibility.
9
Offers a balanced mix of affordable, widely accessible ingredients with minimal preparation effort and adaptability to daily routines.
Appetite Control ⓘ
1
Relies on parasitic consumption, lacks essential nutrients, and induces chronic hunger with no sustainable satiety mechanisms.
8
Balances protein, fiber, and healthy fats to support satiety and stable hunger without extreme restrictions.
Fat Quality ⓘ
1
Relies on parasitic consumption and lacks essential healthy fats, promoting harmful fat intake.
8
Prioritizes whole-food unsaturated fats and omega-3s from fish, but lacks strict optimization of omega-3 to omega-6 balance and saturated fat context.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
1
Provides negligible fiber and prioritizes harmful parasitic consumption over nutritional benefits.
9
Provides diverse, high-quality fiber from whole foods, supporting gut health and metabolic stability.
Gut Health ⓘ
1
Severely compromises gut health through pathogenic risks, nutrient deficiencies, and lack of microbiome-supporting components.
8
Significantly enhances gut microbiome diversity and supports metabolic and immune health through fiber-rich, fermented, and nutrient-dense foods.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
1
It is a harmful, unscientific diet that disrupts hormonal balance through extreme caloric restriction and nutrient deficiencies.
8
Balances macronutrients and micronutrients to support stable hormones, but may lack precision in specific sex hormone modulation.
Macro Balance ⓘ
1
It promotes severe nutritional deficiencies, health risks, and lacks functional macronutrient balance.
8
Offers balanced macronutrient distribution with adaptable ratios and strong evidence for metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Protein Quality ⓘ
1
Provides negligible high-quality protein with severe health risks and inadequate amino acid balance.
7
Provides balanced protein sources with adequate amino acids but relies on plant-based proteins which may limit digestibility and leucine content compared to animal sources.
Taste ⓘ
1
The diet involves consuming a parasite with a strong, unpalatable taste and texture, leading to severe dissatisfaction and poor adherence.
8
Offers rich, diverse flavors and adaptability, enhancing meal satisfaction and long-term adherence.
Body Composition ⓘ
1
It causes severe nutrient deficiencies, muscle wasting, and health risks without sustainable fat loss or lean mass preservation.
8
Effectively supports fat loss while preserving lean mass through balanced macronutrients and sustainable eating patterns.
Energy Balance ⓘ
2
Relies on unproven, harmful methods and lacks sustainable calorie control mechanisms.
7
Supports satiety and flexibility but lacks structured calorie control mechanisms.
Lean Mass ⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, risking significant muscle catabolism during caloric deficit.
6
Provides moderate protein adequacy but may struggle with lean mass retention during significant caloric deficits without careful planning.
Athletic Support ⓘ
1
Severely restricts energy and nutrients, compromising performance, recovery, and long-term sustainability.
7
Provides balanced macronutrients and micronutrients but may lack optimal timing strategies for high-intensity performance.
Weight Loss ⓘ
1
Promotes severe health risks, ethical concerns, and unsustainable weight loss with no scientific support for long-term fat reduction.
7
Promotes sustainable calorie deficit and fat loss with balanced macronutrients and long-term adherence potential.
