One shop. One cook. Done.

No, and it doesn't take a side either way. This is a planning tool for someone who has already decided how they want to eat — menus, shopping and batch cooking. The honest position on the health question is that long-term evidence here is limited, whatever you've read for or against, which is exactly why the toolkit points you toward monitoring rather than reassurance. What it will not do is make claims, count calories, set macro targets, or frame any of this around weight.

Lipids and kidney function are the usual ones, and a baseline before you start is far more useful than a single reading later. It's also worth telling your doctor how you're eating regardless of what they think of it — not for permission, but because it changes how some results are interpreted and because doses for blood pressure and blood sugar medication sometimes need adjusting when diet changes substantially.

Compare price per kilo rather than price per pack, and build the week around a few cheap cuts rather than many recipes. Slow-cooking cuts consistently beat anything sold as a steak on value and eat better than mince. If you include eggs and dairy they're the cheapest protein available by some margin. The comparison tool puts five options side by side at your own prices, since these vary enormously by country.

It's a common complaint in the early weeks and one of the more frequent reasons people stop. It's also a genuinely medical question rather than a meal-planning one, so this points you to a doctor or dietitian rather than offering a fix. What the toolkit does handle is the logistics — and it's honest that adaptation problems that persist for months are worth having looked at rather than pushed through.

No, and the first thing you'll be asked about is that. Kidney disease, gout, high cholesterol and heart conditions all interact with a diet like this in ways worth knowing beforehand, and pregnancy or breastfeeding needs proper input. There's also one question that isn't about physical health: whether your list of excluded foods has stayed stable or has been quietly growing. If it's growing, that's worth mentioning to someone — it's a common pattern and an easy one not to notice from the inside.
