Educational information, not medical advice

The articles, recipes, calculators and trackers on A Weight Loss Tips are for general educational purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and using this site does not create a doctor–patient or any other professional relationship. Never ignore professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here.

Talk with a professional first

Speak with your doctor, a registered dietitian or another qualified health professional before making significant changes to your eating or physical activity, especially if you:

• have a medical condition such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or kidney disease
• take medication that may be affected by changes in diet, weight or activity
• are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy
• have, or have had, an eating disorder or a difficult relationship with food
• are under 18, or are an older adult starting a new exercise routine
• have pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or other symptoms during physical activity

Everyone is different

Bodies respond differently to changes in eating, activity and sleep. We don’t promise any particular result, and any general examples on the site are not predictions of what will happen to you.

About our calculators

BMI and energy estimates are screening and estimation tools based on population formulas. They cannot diagnose health conditions or tell you what you personally should weigh or eat. Our calculators are designed for adults and should not be used for children or teens, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Recipes and allergies

Recipe dietary tags and allergen lists are based on the listed ingredients. Product formulations vary, so always check labels if you have a food allergy, intolerance or other dietary need.

If you need help now

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately (911 in the United States). If you are struggling with eating, food or body image, please reach out to a health professional or a recognized support organization in your country.
