The rules we wrote before the essays
Standards are only worth something if they cost you something. These ones regularly force us to publish a weaker conclusion than the one we started with.
Cited, not asserted
Every physiological claim carries a numbered footnote to a peer-reviewed paper you can open. If a sentence has no citation, it is framing or opinion — and it is labelled that way.
Clinically reviewed
Medical sections and lab-marker interpretation are reviewed by the HealthCalculus panel. Where something genuinely needs your own physician, the essay says so instead of routing you to a product.
Graded, including the awkward parts
Each essay carries an evidence grade. Contested topics get both sides — the seed-oil essays cite Ramsden and Hooper side by side rather than picking the convenient half.
Written for adults who tried the rest
No hype, no transformation photos, no invented success stories. Our readers have already been sold to by people who were guessing; the writing assumes that.

Editorial standards
How this writing is made
Essays are written by the SureShotFatLoss editorial team and the medical and lab-interpretation sections are reviewed by the HealthCalculus clinical panel before publication. The reviewer's credentials appear on each essay alongside the publication and last-reviewed dates.
Review is not a rubber stamp on the whole piece. It covers physiology, marker interpretation and anything touching medication — the areas where being wrong actually harms someone. Editorial judgement and framing remain ours and are labelled as such.
Evidence grades describe the strength of the research, not a promise about your outcome.
Reading is the easy part. Matching is the hard part.
The free assessment turns everything in these essays into one question that matters: which protocol does the research actually support for your pattern?
Educational only, not medical advice. Consult your physician before major dietary changes or altering prescribed medication. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Individual results vary; no outcome is guaranteed.
