A Nutritionist Weighs in...
It is possible to have a balanced diet on the Inflammation-Free Diet. However, you would need to be knowledgeable about both the IF RatingTM system and nutrient content (grams fat and grams carbohydrates) of your food. Moreover, the IF RatingTM system is not scientifically proven, and following the Inflammation-Free Diet may not necessarily help prevent or control disease. By following the Reduced Calorie plan, you should lose weight, since you are cutting back on some calories, carbohydrate grams and fat grams. But why would you want to count both calories and IF scores? This system can become tedious and overwhelming to any dieter.
You need to be a number cruncher to enjoy this plan…
In order to achieve your goal of better health and weight loss there is going to be a lot of math with this diet. Get ready to jot down every food you eat and calculate the IF score, carbohydrate grams and fat grams! This is a huge disadvantage to those who are number-challenged. Remembering to keep track and look up values of each food is also extremely time consuming.
Eating out will be a challenge, since you need to know all the ingredients to rate your foods according to the IF RatingTM system. This means the best way to keep track of your IF score would be to buy and cook your own foods - a huge disadvantage for those on the go or who dislike cooking. Also, exercise and weight loss guidelines are not given and some dieters may need better guidance.
