Protocols

Five simple protocols. Pick one that fits your life.

Nutrival is not a diet philosophy — it's a way to run a small nutrition protocol for a fixed period, follow clear rules, and measure how your body responds.

Low-Carb Simple

Fewer refined carbs. Fewer cravings. No calorie counting.

Gentle

Best for: People who want to eat less without measuring every bite.

  • ·Two or three real meals a day
  • ·Protein and vegetables at every meal
  • ·No sugary drinks, sweets, bread or pasta
  • ·Healthy fat for satiety

Healthy Keto

Strict low-carb, built around unsaturated fats and real food.

Strict

Best for: People who have tried moderate low-carb and want a stricter reset.

  • ·~20–50 g net carbohydrate per day
  • ·Fats from olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, fish
  • ·Adequate protein, not just fat
  • ·Electrolytes and hydration matter

16:8 Fasting

Fast 16 hours, eat within an 8-hour window.

Moderate

Best for: People who want structure without changing what they eat.

  • ·Fast overnight and skip either breakfast or a late dinner
  • ·Two nutritionally complete meals in the window
  • ·Water, tea and black coffee during the fast
  • ·Prefer an earlier eating window when possible

Two Meals a Day

A less intimidating version of fasting.

Gentle

Best for: Beginners who want fewer decisions without a strict fasting window.

  • ·Two fixed meals — roughly the same times daily
  • ·No snacks between meals
  • ·Stop eating 2–3 hours before sleep
  • ·Protein and vegetables first

Longevity Simple

Consistent sleep. Real food. Early eating. Move daily.

Moderate

Best for: People who care about long-term metabolic health, not fads.

  • ·Consistent sleep and wake times
  • ·Earlier eating window
  • ·Mostly minimally processed food
  • ·Adequate protein, vegetables and fibre
  • ·Daily movement, weekly strength work
