Adherence
Compliance with general population dietary goals (fiber, fat, sugars) is high across all diet groups, including meat-eaters, with the notable exception of sodium intake which exceeds recommendations in all groups.
Most people, regardless of diet type, exceed recommended sodium limits. Focus on reducing processed foods to lower sodium intake. Meat-eaters can easily meet fiber and fat goals with minor adjustments, and all groups should monitor their sodium intake closely.
With the exception of sodium intake, compliance with population dietary goals was high across diet groups.
Why this rating
Large cohort, clear statistical analysis of compliance, but potential under-reporting of sodium and sugars limits precision.
