This is not medical advice

Everything published on khudsebetter.com — articles, videos, calculators, the weight loss tracker, the newsletter and coaching — is general information and education about fitness and wellbeing.

It is not medical advice. It is not a diagnosis. It is not a treatment plan. It does not create a doctor-patient or dietitian-client relationship, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional who knows your history.

Talk to a doctor first

Please speak to a qualified doctor, registered dietitian or physiotherapist before changing how you eat or exercise — especially if any of the following apply to you:

• you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding;
• you are under 18;
• you live with diabetes, PCOS, thyroid disease, high blood pressure or heart disease;
• you have a history of disordered eating;
• you are recovering from injury, illness or surgery;
• you take prescription medication that diet or exercise could affect;
• you have been inactive for a long time.

If you feel faint, short of breath or unwell while exercising, stop immediately and seek medical help. Never ignore or delay professional advice because of something you read here.

Our tools give estimates

The calculators and trackers on this site use general population formulas. They cannot account for your body composition, medical history, medication or genetics, and their output is an estimate rather than a measurement.

BMI in particular is a crude screening number. It cannot distinguish muscle from fat, and standard thresholds were not developed for South Asian bodies — Indian guidelines use lower cut-offs for exactly this reason. Treat any such number as one rough data point, not a verdict on your health.

No guaranteed results

Weight loss and fitness outcomes vary enormously between individuals, and depend on factors well outside our control — your starting point, genetics, health conditions, sleep, stress and above all your own consistency.

Nothing on this site promises any particular result. Any progress described, including Vinaydeep's own, is one person's experience and is not a prediction of yours.

Personal experience

Much of this site documents what Vinaydeep is learning while working on their own fitness and habits. It is shared honestly, as one person's experience, by someone who is not a doctor, dietitian or licensed medical professional. Please weigh it accordingly.

External links

We link to other sites where they are useful. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or accuracy.

Accuracy

We try hard to keep content correct and current, and we update articles as our understanding improves. Even so, nutrition and exercise science evolves, and we cannot guarantee that everything here is complete or up to date. Spotted something wrong? Please tell us at hello@khudsebetter.com — we would rather know.

Your responsibility

By using this site you accept that you do so at your own risk, and that you are responsible for decisions you make about your own health.
