Health and safety

Bora is a support tool. It doesn't replace a doctor or dietitian.

The app's limits

• The budget never goes below 1,200 kcal for women and 1,500 kcal for men.
• If you lose weight too fast, the app gives calories back, because losing fast costs muscle.
• The AI coach doesn't prescribe diets, medication or calorie targets below the app's own, and points you to emergency care when there are urgent signs.
• Exercises that strain a painful area are left out of the workout.

Talk to a professional first if you

• have diabetes, high blood pressure, a thyroid condition or another health condition;
• are pregnant or breastfeeding;
• have had an eating disorder;
• take medication that affects appetite or weight.

The method's scientific sources are inside the app. See Scientific sources.
