This market is a commitment device to help me adhere to dietary buying rules in April 2026 to improve my NAFLD and IBS symptoms. Note: this is a highly personalized set of restrictions, not for everyone!

1. THE "NO-BUY" LIST

I must NOT buy the following items for my own consumption:

• Drinks: All drinks containing sugar.

• Meat: ground meat (mince/burgers), processed meats (sausages, salami, bacon, ham).

• Sweets & Sugar: Candy, chocolate (incl. dark), sugar, honey, syrups.

• Condiments: Sugary sauces (ketchup, BBQ, etc.) and sweet spreads (jams, nut butters with sugar).

• Canned food: Any canned food.

• Processed Food: Highly processed / ready-to-eat meals, deep- fried food.

• Dairy: High-Fat cheese or creme.

• Grains: All flours, baked goods, and pasta, except pure spelt flour and oats.

• Fruit: Citrus fruits, dried fruits, sweet fruit purees (except allowed apple sauce).

2. THE FRUCTOSE BUDGET

I may buy fresh fruit (excl. citrus) or unsweetened apple sauce, subject to these limits:

• Scope: This budget applies to fruit only. Fructose from vegetables is exempt.

• Total Budget: Max. ~150g fructose per week.

• Calculation: Calculation via app/AI or nutrition labels.

• Apple sauce: Max 750g of unsweetened apple sauce per week (≈90g fructose).

5. EXEMTIONS + EXCEPTIONS

• Non-consumtion: Rules don't apply when buying food I don't consume, unless I know I'll eventually consume it after April.

• Cheat-day: I may buy one restricted item on every Thursday.

6. RESOLUTION CRITERIA

• Reporting: Honor System.

• Failure: If I knowingly buy a restricted item (outside exceptions) or consume an accidental purchase, the market resolves NO.

• Success: If I adhere to these rules until May 1, 2026, the market resolves YES.

• Changes: Rules will not be changed to make the protocol easier. "Bugfixes" (clarifications/friction reduction) are permitted.

I will not trade on this market.

Thanks for participating. ❤️
