Metabolic Health ⓘ
6
Limited evidence supports its impact on metabolic markers, with potential benefits from antioxidants but insufficient controlled trials to confirm sustained metabolic improvements.
4
May temporarily improve some markers but risks blood sugar instability and nutrient deficiencies.
Micronutrients ⓘ
3
Severely deficient in critical nutrients like B12 and D without supplementation.
2
Severely lacks critical micronutrients like B12, D, and iodine without fortification or supplementation.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
6
Provides moderate nutrient density per calorie but lacks phytonutrient diversity and bioavailability optimization.
4
Provides moderate nutrient content per calorie but lacks fiber and may have high sugar content reducing efficiency.
Overall Health ⓘ
4
Limited nutritional adequacy and insufficient long-term evidence for chronic disease prevention.
3
Severely limits essential nutrients and long-term sustainability while lacking robust evidence for chronic disease prevention.
Sustainability ⓘ
2
Requires extreme restriction, inaccessibility, and social incompatibility, making long-term adherence highly unlikely.
3
Requires extreme dietary restriction, lacks flexibility, and is impractical for long-term adherence due to cost, preparation demands, and psychological strain.
Lifestyle Fit ⓘ
3
Severely restricts social interactions and practicality due to limited food options and rigid preparation requirements.
2
Severely restricts social engagement, travel flexibility, and daily routine integration, making long-term adherence impractical for most lifestyles.
Practicality ⓘ
3
Requires specialized, costly, and geographically limited ingredients with significant preparation and planning demands.
2
Requires significant financial cost, specialized equipment, and time-intensive preparation, making long-term adherence highly impractical for most individuals.
Appetite Control ⓘ
5
Limited protein and potential palatability issues may hinder satiety, but high fiber and low energy density offer partial appetite control.
3
Severely restricts protein and fiber, leading to significant hunger and cravings due to low satiety and glycemic instability.
Fat Quality ⓘ
3
Relies on minimal whole-food fats and lacks sufficient EPA/DHA, leading to poor omega-3 status and suboptimal cardiovascular and cognitive support.
3
Severely lacks essential healthy fats and omega-3s, risking cardiovascular and hormonal imbalances.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
5
Provides moderate fiber quantity but lacks diversity and may fall short of recommended intake.
3
Severely limited fiber quantity, type diversity, and functional outcomes due to reliance on low-fiber juices and potential digestive distress.
Gut Health ⓘ
5
Provides moderate fiber but lacks diversity and essential prebiotic/fermented foods critical for microbiome diversity and digestive balance.
3
Severely limits dietary fiber diversity and excludes prebiotic/fermented foods, risking digestive distress and reduced microbiome diversity.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
4
Limited micronutrient diversity and potential caloric insufficiency may disrupt hormonal balance and stress regulation.
3
Severely restricts macronutrients and micronutrients critical for hormonal balance, risking insulin instability, cortisol elevation, and sex hormone deficiencies.
Macro Balance ⓘ
2
Severely deficient in protein and fat, leading to metabolic stress and poor satiety.
2
Severely lacks protein and fat, promotes excessive sugar intake, and lacks adaptability for functional health outcomes.
Protein Quality ⓘ
2
Severely inadequate in essential amino acids and digestible protein to meet recovery and satiety needs.
1
Severely lacks sufficient high-quality protein for muscle recovery and satiety.
Taste ⓘ
2
Wheatgrass has an intensely bitter, grassy flavor that is generally unpalatable and limits meal variety and adherence.
3
Limited flavor variety and potential for monotony reduce long-term enjoyment and adherence.
Body Composition ⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and calories, risking muscle loss and impairing training performance without robust evidence for fat loss benefits.
3
Severely limits protein intake and energy availability, risking lean mass loss and compromising training performance.
Energy Balance ⓘ
3
Lacks structured calorie control, satiety, and flexibility for diverse energy goals.
3
Juice fasting severely restricts calorie control, satiety, and flexibility, leading to unreliable energy management.
Lean Mass ⓘ
3
Severely limits protein intake and energy availability, risking muscle catabolism without robust evidence for lean mass preservation.
2
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, leading to significant muscle catabolism during fasting periods.
Athletic Support ⓘ
3
Severely limits caloric and macronutrient diversity, risking underfueling and nutrient deficiencies critical for athletic performance.
2
Severely limits energy, protein, and fats essential for athletic performance and recovery.
Weight Loss ⓘ
3
Limited calorie deficit potential and poor sustainability hinder effective long-term fat loss.
5
Provides short-term calorie deficit but lacks sustainability, risks muscle loss, and has limited evidence for long-term fat loss.
