health notices
The UNDENIABLY FIT nutrition and exercise plan was developed by respected health professionals. However, Ably Health, Inc. isn’t a medical organization and we can’t give you medical advice. We strongly urge you to consult with your primary health care provider (e.g., physician or nurse practitioner) before starting any plan that could result in weight loss, even if weight loss is not your goal. We encourage you to maintain your weight within the healthy weight guidelines endorsed by the World Health Organization, equivalent to a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18.5-25.0.
However, we recognize that BMI is an imperfect measure of an individual’s health and that other factors may be a more robust predictor of certain health outcomes. You can calculate your BMI with this tool from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
We also urge you to get periodic medical checkups. Weight loss can create physical changes that should be medically monitored. Studies have shown, for example, that weight loss can aggravate gallbladder illness. Weight loss is not advised for people with a BMI below the healthy range. Medical monitoring is especially important for people with a known medical condition. The plan encourages a healthier pattern of eating and the development of healthy lifestyle habits, however it is not intended to treat any illness or disease. In addition:
