I am sorry for the provocative title. Gutloading is a fashion with no base.
Most ingredients you find in virally spread recipes are unnatural, absolutely nonsensous, non-digestible for chameleons and even harmful.
The normal gut load of typical chameleon food is pollen, nectar (in the guts of pollinators) or hay resp. leaves (in the case of orthopterans and diverse caterpillars) but not in a variety of them but monodietary - as they are as a rule specialists and/or deed on one spot before being eaten.
The rule of thumb is:
1. Feed your feeders proper natural diet so that they build strong, well built and nutritious bodies
2. Gutload with pollen and hay
