BioHarmony 6.6/10
Ketogenic Diet is a 6.6 / 10 fit for people using metabolic health, blood sugar, and body composition as a measured nutrition experiment. The body-composition signal is real: [Leung GKW et al. 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39854812/) pooled 33 randomized trials and found lower weight and body-fat measures. The counterweight is just as important. [Amini MR et al. 2024](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0939475323004866) found no meaningful blood-pressure improvement, and [Gardner CD et al. 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29466592/) showed healthy low-carb was not superior to healthy low-fat for 12-month weight loss. Ketogenic Diet can help the right responder, especially with glucose tracking, but Ketogenic Diet is not automatically better than a well-built whole-food plan. Use Ketogenic Diet when the target is measurable, the tradeoff is acceptable, and adherence is realistic. ✅ Best for: Adults with type 2 diabetes using a clinician-supervised low-carb program with medication adjustment and nutrient monitoring; children with drug-resistant epilepsy under pediatric neurology and dietitian care; adults using keto as an 8-12 week elimination or metabolic-reset diet; hyperandrogenic PCOS women tracking cycles, insulin, and androgen markers; APOE3 cognitive-aging users trying MCT-heavy or Mediterranean-keto variants; and ultra-endurance athletes who have completed a 12+ week adaptation block. Use ApoB, thyroid, sex hormones, glucose, insulin, symptoms, and adherence as decision gates. ❌ Avoid if: You take SGLT2 inhibitors unless a specialist explicitly supervises the transition; you have T1D without intensive ketone and glucose monitoring; you are pregnant or lactating; you have active eating disorder history, pancreatitis, liver failure, or suspected fatty-acid oxidation disorder; you have a family history of unexplained metabolic crises, exercise collapse, or Reye-like episodes; or you are a lean active woman whose thyroid, SHBG, free sex hormones, sleep, menstrual function, or training output worsens. Also avoid chronic saturated-fat-heavy keto if ApoB rises.

My score and my verdict: one signal of three, never the whole answer.
Momentum
Signals begin with Edition 2
Direction needs two weekly snapshots to compare, so the arrows stay off until the next edition. Attention tracking is already running.
Momentum = how fast attention is rising across search, Reddit, PubMed, podcasts, and curated industry newsletters this week; it can flag an item as Overhyped/Fading, but it never overrides the evidence behind Proven. How momentum works.

The score anchors the ring; the other five drive momentum, which can nudge the ring by one step at most. How placement works.
