Disclaimers & How to Use ThisWeekEats™ Safely
We're a meal-planning tool. We're not your doctor or your dietitian. Here's the honest line on what we can and can't do, and how we recommend you set this up so it actually serves your health.
What ThisWeekEats™ is
We are a meal-planning software product that uses AI to generate weekly meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists tailored to user-supplied preferences and dietary settings. Our nutritional framing is based on widely-published guidelines from Harvard School of Public Health, Mayo Clinic, the American Heart Association, the National Institutes of Health, and the 2025 joint advisory of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the American Society for Nutrition, the Obesity Medicine Association, and The Obesity Society (Mozaffarian et al., Obesity 2025, DOI 10.1002/oby.24336).
The plans we generate are general guidance, not personalized medical prescriptions. We don't see your bloodwork. We don't know your medications. We don't have your medical history. The system can only work with what you tell it.
What ThisWeekEats™ is not
We are not a registered dietitian. We are not a physician. We are not a hospital, clinic, telehealth provider, pharmacy, or medical device. Use of our software does not create a provider-patient relationship of any kind, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
A registered dietitian works alongside your physician using your medical history, current labs, prescribed medications, allergies, and specific conditions. Software (ours included) cannot replace that relationship, and meaningful nutrition guidance for anyone with a medical reason should be developed in partnership with both.
The recommended pattern: doctor → profile → recipe verification
Here is the pattern we recommend every user follow. It's how to get the value of the planner without confusing it for medical care.
Talk to your doctor and/or a registered dietitian first
Before changing how you eat, especially if you have any medical condition or take any medication, have the conversation with your medical team. Ask them: “Given my health situation, what should my plate look like? What protein, calorie, and fiber targets make sense for me? Are there foods I should avoid or limit? Any micronutrient considerations I should be tracking?” Bring the answers to step 2.
Configure ThisWeekEats™ around what they told you
Set your dietary preferences (e.g., DASH, Mediterranean, low-sodium), allergies, food aversions, calorie or protein targets, and any food restrictions exactly as your medical team advised. Add each family member's constraints separately (someone's peanut allergy, your child's tree-nut allergy, your spouse's diabetes-management goals) so the planner respects all of them simultaneously.
Verify each generated recipe before you cook and eat it
Our system runs a five-layer allergen check, but you are the final verifier. Read each recipe before cooking. Look at the ingredient list. If something is wrong for your situation (an ingredient your doctor told you to avoid, a portion size that doesn't match your needs, a cooking method incompatible with your equipment or skill), swap the recipe or modify it. The planner is a starting point, not the last word.
Update your profile when your medical situation changes
New diagnosis, new medication, pregnancy, new allergy, new lab result, surgical recovery, change in your child's health: any of these should trigger a fresh conversation with your medical team and an update to your ThisWeekEats™ profile. The planner only knows what you tell it.
When to consult your doctor or registered dietitian
Always consult your physician and a registered dietitian before making dietary changes, and especially if any of the following apply to you or someone you're cooking for:
- You take any prescription medication, including (but not limited to) blood thinners, diabetes medications, GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, Zepbound®), thyroid medication, or medications affecting blood pressure or heart function. Many have food and nutrient interactions
- You are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive. Nutrient needs change significantly and some otherwise-healthy foods are contraindicated
- You manage diabetes, pre-diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, gout, IBD, celiac disease, gastroparesis, or any other condition with specific nutritional requirements
- You or someone in your family has a life-threatening allergy or food sensitivity. Software cannot guarantee zero risk; only your verification can
- You are recovering from disordered eating. Meal-planning software can be helpful or harmful depending on the recovery stage; your treatment team should weigh in
- You are caring for an infant, young child, or elderly family member with specific nutritional needs
- You are an athlete, are training for a specific event, or are working to gain or lose weight under medical supervision
- You are recovering from surgery, illness, or hospitalization
- You have any concern, of any size, about whether a planned meal is right for you
When in doubt, ask. Your doctor would rather hear from you about a meal-plan question than not.
If you take a GLP-1 medication
ThisWeekEats™ has a section dedicated to people on GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (semaglutide: Ozempic®, Wegovy®; tirzepatide: Mounjaro®, Zepbound®; and others), available at /glp-1. The general nutrition framing on that page references the 2025 joint advisory cited above and registered-dietitian-published guidance.
This does not replace the conversation with your prescribing clinician. GLP-1 medications change how you absorb food, how much you can eat, your hydration needs, your micronutrient profile, and your response to certain food categories. Individual targets (protein per kg, calories per day, fiber, electrolytes) depend on your dose, your titration schedule, your weight, your age, your comorbidities, and your bloodwork. Only your clinician and a registered dietitian can set those for you. We are explicitly not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, or any manufacturer of any GLP-1 medication.
Allergens: your responsibility to verify
ThisWeekEats™ runs a five-layer allergen check on every generated recipe (database filter → category block → AI prompt warnings → recipe validation → view-time check). We catch derivatives like peanut oil, tree-nut flours, soy lecithin, and shrimp paste that other systems miss.
You are still the final line of defense. No automated system can guarantee zero risk for a life-threatening allergy. Always:
- Read every ingredient before purchasing, before cooking, and before serving
- Check packaging for cross-contamination warnings (“made in a facility that also processes...”)
- Verify the source ingredients in any prepared products (sauces, broths, spice blends, prepared dressings, many of which contain hidden allergens)
- Carry your prescribed emergency medication (e.g., epinephrine auto-injector) at all times if you have a severe allergy, regardless of what your meal plan says
- If you're cooking for someone else with an allergy, double-check every ingredient with them before serving
If you discover an allergen that slipped through our system, please contact us immediately at contact@resolventtech.com so we can investigate and improve the protection.

Use of ThisWeekEats™ does not create a doctor-patient relationship, dietitian-client relationship, or any professional medical relationship of any kind. Always seek the advice of your physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, dietary changes, or health-related decisions. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on this site or in our app. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately.
No warranty; no reliance
ThisWeekEats™ is provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that any meal plan, recipe, ingredient, nutrition fact, allergen flag, or other piece of content is accurate, complete, current, suitable for your specific situation, free of error, or fit for any particular purpose. While we work hard to make our system reliable, AI-generated content can contain mistakes, and third-party nutritional data sources are not always perfectly accurate.
You agree that any reliance you place on ThisWeekEats™ output is at your own discretion and risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, ThisWeekEats™, its operators (Resolvent Technologies), and its suppliers disclaim all liability for any loss, harm, or damage of any kind arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the service.
Endorsements, claims, and individual results
Any user testimonials, reviews, or case studies reflect the experience of those specific users and are not a guarantee that other users will achieve the same results. Individual results depend on many factors (adherence, biology, medication, activity level, sleep, stress, comorbidities) that are outside our control.
We do not make weight-loss claims, disease-treatment claims, or claims that our software cures, prevents, or treats any condition. Where research is referenced, we cite peer-reviewed primary sources or established consensus statements (such as the Mozaffarian et al. 2025 joint advisory). Where we cite numbers (e.g., protein targets, GLP-1 trial outcomes), they reflect general published guidance, not predictions for your specific situation.
If you have a question or concern
If something on the site or in the app doesn't feel right for your situation, stop and ask your doctor before continuing. If you believe you've found a bug, an allergen mismatch, or a piece of content that should be updated, please contact us at contact@resolventtech.com.
The goal of ThisWeekEats™ is to help you eat well, under your doctor's guidance, configured around your real life, with a tool that respects your autonomy and your medical context. We take that goal seriously, and these disclaimers are part of how we keep it honest.
