The Company provides health and nutrition programs, which may consist of online information, diet plans, recipes, exercises and professional in-person training and consultation (Programmes).

You must read the disclaimer and complete the checklist below.

You must complete this checklist before commencing any of the diets/exercise programmes recommended on the website or before commencing/signing up to the programmes. We always recommend speaking to your usual or appropriate health professional before starting any diet or exercise programme.

If you think you may be suffering from any medical condition, you should seek immediate medical attention.

The diets and/or the programs are not recommended for the following:

(a) People who are underweight and/ or have an eating disorder, or a history or suspicion of an eating disorder.

(b) Children (under 18 years old), Type 1 diabetics, Pregnant women, breast feeding mothers or anyone undergoing fertility treatment. People who have a significant psychiatric disorder or substance abuse.

People who are under active investigation or treatment or have a significant medical condition affecting ability to comply with diet. People who have had a recent cardiac event, myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident (<3 months previously) or other heart abnormalities. People who have had uncontrolled heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or kidney failure. People who are feeling unwell, have a fever, are frail or recovering from significant surgery (<6 months ago). People who are on insulin. This is to avoid a potentially dangerous drop in blood sugar (hypo). People who are on ‘flozin’ medication (known as SGLT2 inhibitors, taken to reduce blood sugars, such as Dapaglifozin of Canagliflozin). This is to avoid the rare complication and potentially dangerous condition called euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), where despite having normal or only mildly raised ketones the medication can mask a serious complication of diabetes requiring urgent attention.

Use CAUTION and discuss with a medical professional before commencing the diets and/or programmes and if any of the following apply:

(a) You have a significant underlying medical condition

(b) If you have type 2 diabetes and are on medication, it will be necessary to adjust your medication. It may need to be reduced or stopped as blood sugars improve and to avoid hypos.

(c) If you are on certain diabetic medication and have ‘hypoglycaemia unawareness’ (you cannot tell if you have a ‘hypo’ when your sugar level drops).

(d) If you are on blood pressure medication this may need to be reduced or stopped as blood pressure improves.

(e) Those with a psychiatric history in the past

(f) If you are taking other medications, e.g. Warfarin.

(g) If you have moderate or severe retinopathy you will need extra screening within 6 months (as retinopathy can sometimes get worse when blood sugar improves) (h) People with epilepsy (though there is some evidence that diet can improve epilepsy)

We always recommend speaking to your usual or appropriate health professional before starting any exercise programme. In particular, if you answer yes to any of the questions below, you should consult your doctor before commencing the programme and/or exercises suggested on the websites:

(a) Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?

(b) Have you been told by your doctor that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor because you have a heart condition?

(c) Have you had any chest pain in the past month when not doing physical activity?

(d) Do you lose your balance as a result of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness/collapse?

(e) Do you have a bone or joint problem (e.g. back, knee, or hip) that could be made worse by exercise?

(f) Is your doctor currently prescribing medication for your blood pressure or heart condition?

(g) Do you have any injuries and/or are unwell?

(h) Do you have asthma?

(i) Do you have any medical conditions that prevent you from doing exercise?

(j) Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?
