Concerns for the sub and alternate Weight Loss communities.

I am rather disturbed by the advertisements masked as posts now present on /r/loseit. I greatly fear that the quality of advice and support within the community can only suffer if we have to start discerning real advice from restaurant and plan/supplement ads.

After discussing it with the mods, they've said such posts will not be removed. I can understand the tightrope they walk, but false information with an intent to profit seems legitimately dangerous on health-conscious subreddit. I'd take this opportunity to remind everyone that, should they find themselves no longer feeling at home in /r/loseit that there are always communities of people who genuinely want to help each other become healthier.

/r/fitness and /r/bodyweightfitness are good exercise focused subs. /r/progresspics is pretty self explanatory. r/eatcheapandhealthy as well as /r/1200isplenty and /r/1500isplenty depending on your calorie needs are great for helping eat less or healthier. There's always people who want to help.
