Limited short-term metabolic benefits but risks nutrient deficiencies and unsustainable practices.
Micronutrientsⓘ
3
Severely limits essential micronutrients like B12, iron, and calcium through restrictive food choices.
Nutrient Densityⓘ
5
Limited phytonutrient diversity and reliance on low-calorie, nutrient-dense but restrictive food selections.
Overall Healthⓘ
4
Limited nutritional adequacy and potential for nutrient deficiencies hinder long-term health benefits.
Sustainabilityⓘ
3
Requires strict meal planning, limited food choices, and potential for psychological stress, making long-term adherence challenging.
Lifestyle Fitⓘ
3
Severely restricts social and travel flexibility, requires significant planning, and lacks adaptability to real-world routines.
Practicalityⓘ
5
Limited food variety and strict meal timing reduce long-term adherence and real-world feasibility.
Appetite Controlⓘ
6
Moderate satiety from fiber and water content, but limited protein and potential for hunger due to restrictive nature.
Fat Qualityⓘ
4
Lacks sufficient healthy fats and has an imbalanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.
Fiber Intakeⓘ
4
Provides limited fiber quantity and poor diversity, risking inadequate gut and metabolic support.
Gut Healthⓘ
2
Severely limits fiber diversity, excludes prebiotics and fermented foods, and risks digestive distress due to restrictive nature.
Hormonal Supportⓘ
3
Severe calorie restriction and nutrient deficiencies disrupt hormonal balance, elevating cortisol and impairing sex and thyroid hormones.
Macro Balanceⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and carbohydrates, leading to metabolic stress and poor long-term adherence.
Protein Qualityⓘ
6
Provides adequate animal-based protein but lacks balanced amino acid distribution and nutrient-dense food matrix.
Tasteⓘ
4
Limited flavor variety and reliance on tart grapefruit may reduce meal enjoyment and long-term adherence.
Body Compositionⓘ
5
Promotes short-term fat loss but risks muscle loss and lacks sufficient protein support for lean mass preservation.
Energy Balanceⓘ
5
Provides limited structure for calorie control but risks overeating due to restrictive food choices and poor satiety.
Lean Massⓘ
3
Severely restricts protein and energy intake, increasing muscle catabolism during fat loss.
Athletic Supportⓘ
3
Severely restricts calories and carbohydrates, compromising energy availability and recovery while lacking balanced macronutrients and practical timing strategies.
Weight Lossⓘ
5
Limited evidence for sustained fat loss, with risks of poor adherence and potential muscle loss.
