Understand a diet before you follow it

heyfood v0.9.0 can browse named diets and explain one in depth. Each guide separates the diet's principles, evidence, practical food choices, and safety considerations instead of relying on a label alone.

What a guide includes

  • A canonical ID, plain-language summary, and evidence grade.
  • Principles, foods commonly emphasized or limited, and restaurant guidance when a complete guide is available.
  • Nutrient considerations, relevant interactions, misconceptions, and source citations.
  • An honest coverage status when the reference material is not yet complete.

Use the exact ID shown by heyfood diet list. For example, the display name “Mediterranean” uses the ID mediterranean.

Evidence is part of the answer

The catalog shows the strength of the available evidence and whether the full guide is covered. A limited evidence grade is not hidden or rewritten as certainty, and missing reference material is reported as missing.

Source citations travel with each complete guide so you can see what informed it. The grade describes the evidence behind the dietary pattern; it is not a score for whether that diet is right for you.

Your safety needs still come first

A dish can fit a named diet and still conflict with an allergy, medical condition, or other restriction. Diet alignment is advisory: it never turns an unsafe choice into a safe one.

These guides describe dietary patterns. They are not a diagnosis, prescription, or recommendation to begin a diet. If you use a diet to manage a health condition, follow your care team's guidance.

Coding agents can use the same guides

The local agent interface includes two bounded read-only tools: one for the catalog and one for a guide by exact ID. The tools become available only when the connected service advertises the supported Diet capability.
