About This Analysis
Weight loss is not one-size-fits-all. This interactive report synthesizes current nutritional data to compare four dominant dietary strategies: Ketogenic (Keto), General Low Carb, Paleolithic (Paleo), and the Mediterranean Diet. Use the visualizations below to understand the physiological demands of each (Macronutrient Ratios) and the behavioral trade-offs (Sustainability vs. Speed).
The Data Landscape
Before choosing a routine, it is critical to understand the nutritional composition and the expected trajectory of results. The charts below contrast the strict chemical requirements of Keto against the more balanced approach of Mediterranean.

Find Your Strategic Fit
The "best" diet is the one you can stick to. Answer three simple questions about your lifestyle and preferences to see which protocol aligns with your behavioral profile.
1. What is your primary timeline goal?
I need to see the scale move quickly to stay motivated, even if it's hard.
I want a lifestyle change I can keep up with for years.

I don't mind counting macros/calories and reading strict labels.
I prefer general guidelines over strict mathematics.
