Important: SHED Fitness is a general wellness and education tool. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new diet or exercise programme.

Not Medical Advice

All content available through the SHED Fitness Service — including calorie calculators, macro targets, AI-generated meal plans, workout programmes, educational articles, and any other information — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Consult a Professional

Before making changes to your diet, calorie intake, or exercise routine, speak with a qualified healthcare professional — including your doctor, registered dietitian, or certified personal trainer. This is especially important if you:

  • Have or suspect you have any medical condition (including diabetes, heart disease, eating disorders, or metabolic conditions)
  • Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant
  • Are under 18 or over 65 years of age
  • Are taking prescription medications
  • Have recently had surgery or are recovering from an injury or illness

Calorie and Nutrition Calculations

SHED uses established scientific formulas such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and daily calorie targets. These are estimates only. Individual metabolic rates vary significantly based on genetics, hormones, gut microbiome, medication, and many other factors. A calorie target generated by SHED may not be appropriate for your specific circumstances.

Food nutrition data is sourced from publicly available databases and may not always reflect the exact nutritional content of a specific product or preparation method.

AI-Generated Content

Meal plans and workout programmes generated by SHED's AI features are created by a large language model and are intended as a starting point, not a prescriptive plan. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or suggestions that are inappropriate for your individual health situation. Never follow AI-generated dietary or exercise advice without first discussing it with a qualified professional.

Weight Loss and Fitness Results

Results from any diet or exercise programme vary between individuals. SHED does not guarantee any specific outcome, including weight loss, muscle gain, or improvements in health markers. Rapid or extreme weight loss can be harmful — sustainable results typically require gradual, consistent lifestyle changes under professional guidance.

Emergency Situations

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately. Do not rely on SHED or any digital health tool for emergency medical guidance.

Limitation of Liability

SHED Fitness assumes no responsibility or liability for any health outcomes, injuries, or adverse effects that may result from use of information or tools provided by the Service. Your use of SHED is at your own risk. See our full Terms of Service for our complete liability limitations.
