Ads for legit weight loss products should be allowed. How else would I learn about products that could help me lose weight?
Would it be a good idea to ban ads for wheelchairs on the basis that it is "disability shaming"?

Caloric restriction is the way to lose weight. If that knowledge is not enough, and a book doesn't fix the problem, the solution is likely a regiment, program, club, routine, or subscription. Enter Weight Watchers. https://health.usnews.com/best-diet/weight-watchers-diet https://health.usnews.com/best-diet/best-weight-loss-diets
If paying money to a service to help you count calories does the trick, it is the answer. Food consumption routines and subscriptions should be allowed, because despite being profitable businesses, they also are beneficial to society. It may or may not be hard for WW to deliver its message around this ban. I would hope that Pinterest has somewhat flexible rules, and makes good judgement calls when something is close. I personally would err on the side of allowing WW to advertise, without letting it be a slippery slope back to snake oil.
So really it's not doing much other than reducing how hungry someone feels.
Want to lose weight? It's easy. Go keto. For people that are fat, like myself, cutting carbs will, by nature, cut calories and a higher fat/protein diet will make you feel more full and eat less calories.
The problem is a lot of people like myself want to lose weight while still eating fast food and sitting down all day. No pill/injection will change that.
We've started a pre-packaged meal plan. Meals are normally good (only had a couple we didn't like) but we are down a combined 75+ pounds and still doing the pre-packaged meals since we get a decent selection. Now, we do get a TON of chicken, and that is a struggle, but it's a trade off.
As to your last point, agree. There's no magic pill that will let you lose weight without fundamental changes
Eg ads for low calorie cookbooks, things to sis keto diets, low calorie products like ice cream, etc
If weight loss things were FDA approved, effective, and didn't carry the weight of a society that tells people that being overweight (or even just feeling overweight) makes you less respected as a human being, then I'd totally agree with you that they shouldn't be banned outright. But unfortunately with how we currently look at weight loss it's not as simple.
There is no shortcut or product. It’s calories in, calories out based on your resting metabolism + activity. Do not eat processed foods.
Unprocessed whole foods, lots of fiber and micronutrients.
There is no one best specific diet for everyone. There is no one best specific exercise regime. You figure it out from trial and error.
We don’t need ads for this stuff.
Ads are a way to get someone with a product (which can include knowledge products like cico and diets) to be and to spread the word about those products.
Is this a legit question? Use a search engine or ask your doctor/pharmacist. You don't need ads for it.
At this point I've pretty much trained myself to zone out when I see an ad because it is probably peddling some mediocre crap.
There are none. Or, at least, there are few that the number is indiscernable from zero.
Sorry, why? Pinterest is a privately owned company, they are absolutely entitled to decide who they want to let advertise on their own website. Who are you to tell them what content "should" be displayed to their users?
