It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and it makes no promise of specific weight-loss results, which vary from person to person. Talk to your doctor before starting any new diet, exercise, or weight-loss medication, especially if you have a health condition or take other medicines. This guide does not recommend any medication or dose. If you are struggling with food, body image, or disordered eating, please reach out to a qualified professional — in the US you can contact the National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline at 1-866-662-1235.
