Our Goal
Our goal is simple: publish guidance that helps you make better decisions with less confusion. We prioritize clarity, common-sense application, and reputable sources—without hype.
Important: DietFYI content is educational and not a substitute for medical advice. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or take medications, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Our Review Process
| Step | What we do | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| 1) Topic research | Identify what people actually search for and where confusion exists. | You get answers to real questions, not fluff. |
| 2) Source selection | Prefer reputable medical organizations, government health sites, and peer-reviewed research when relevant. | Content is grounded in credible references. |
| 3) Practical filtering | Translate research into actionable steps (foods, portions, meal structure, habits). | You can apply it without needing a textbook. |
| 4) Consistency checks | Verify internal consistency (definitions, claims, portions, and safety notes). | Fewer contradictions across pages. |
| 5) Publishing + iteration | Improve pages based on feedback, new evidence, and clearer explanations. | Guides get better over time. |
Source Standards
When we cite sources, we prioritize:
- Medical organizations (major clinics and health systems)
- Government health resources
- Peer-reviewed research (when it clarifies specific claims)
- Established nutrition references (when medically appropriate)
We may link to helpful tools or explainers, but we avoid sensational or misleading sources.
How We Handle “Testing” (Recipes, Meal Plans, and Practical Advice)
- Recipes: designed for repeatability, realistic prep time, and clear ingredient swaps.
- Meal plans: built from simple templates so you can adjust portions and preferences.
- Diet guidance: focused on behavior + structure (protein, vegetables, portion logic).
