Can I Use the Diet app? Age and Medical Requirements

RP Diet Coach works well for most healthy adults. Before you start, check two things.

1. You're comfortable with macros

The app tells you exactly what to eat, but it helps to know what protein, carbs and fats are. If you'd rather start simpler, try the Ultimate Beginner Bundle.

2. The app is safe for you

RP Strength is not a healthcare company. Talk to your healthcare provider before starting any significant weight-change program. Do not use the app until your healthcare provider has cleared you.

Do not use the app if:

  • You are under 18 or over 65
  • You are shorter than 54 in (137 cm) or taller than 84 in (213 cm)
  • You weigh more than 350 lb (159 kg)
  • Your BMI is below 17
  • You are currently undergoing hormone therapy as a transgender individual
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have been diagnosed with heart disease, thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism
  • You have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • You have had weight-loss surgery in the past 5 years
  • You have gallbladder disease
  • You have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease
  • You have been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes
  • You have a history of an eating disorder

Do not follow a fat loss diet if:

  • You are trying to get pregnant
  • You are undergoing fertility treatment

Other health conditions may also need guidance from a Registered Dietitian (RD). Read our full medical waiver.
