Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: 29 October 2026

The content on LKDreams, including articles, recipes, nutrition figures and other information, is for general information only. It isn’t medical advice and isn’t a substitute for advice from your doctor, a registered dietitian, a pharmacist or another qualified health professional.

Always talk to a professional about your own health

Everyone’s health, medicines and circumstances are different, and we can’t take yours into account. Please talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before making big changes to how you eat, starting a restrictive diet such as keto, taking supplements, or stopping or changing any medicine. This is especially important if you:

  • Have a long-term health condition, such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney or liver disease, or an eating disorder.
  • Take regular medication, including insulin, other diabetes medicines, blood pressure medicines or blood thinners.
  • Are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Are planning changes for a child or teenager.
  • Are an older adult or have a weakened immune system.

Never ignore professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you’ve read on this site.

In an emergency

If you think you or someone else may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number straight away. In the UK, you can also contact NHS 111 for urgent advice. If you’re struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of harming yourself, please reach out now: you can find free, confidential support in your country at findahelpline.com.

Keto and restrictive diets

Ketogenic and very low-carb diets aren’t suitable for everyone. They can affect blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and how some medicines work. People taking certain diabetes medicines can develop dangerously low blood sugar or ketoacidosis. Our keto articles include a safety note, but they can’t replace advice from someone who knows your health.

Nutrition figures are estimates

Nutrition information on LKDreams is calculated from USDA FoodData Central and is an estimate. Actual values depend on the brands, sizes and amounts you use and how you cook. If you follow a diet for a medical reason, such as for diabetes, kidney disease or a food allergy, please check recipes with your doctor or dietitian.

Food allergies and food safety

We list common allergens in our recipes, but ingredients and products vary. Always check labels if you have a food allergy or intolerance. Follow the food safety advice in each recipe, and take extra care with higher-risk foods if you’re pregnant, cooking for young children or older adults, or have a weakened immune system.

Supplements

Mentions of supplements are for information only. Supplements can interact with medicines and aren’t suitable for everyone. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking them.

Links to other websites

Our articles link to other websites, such as public health bodies and research journals, so you can check our sources. We aren’t responsible for the content of other websites.

Accuracy

We work to keep our content accurate and up to date, as described in our editorial policy, but nutrition science and health guidance change, and we can’t promise that every article reflects the latest advice. If you spot something that looks wrong, please let us know.

Advertising
