Questions about DietDilemmas
Does this site provide a personalized diet?
No. The articles and tools are general educational resources, not individualized medical advice or a prescribed meal plan.
Where is my meal plan saved?
Only in this browser when you select Save. It is not uploaded, emailed or synchronized to an account by this tool.
Can I buy a membership?
This package does not connect membership billing. Any future plan should clearly explain pricing, access and cancellation before signup.
Are reviews based on hands-on testing?
Each review should say whether it is based on testing or research. Do not assume testing unless the article describes it.
