Medical disclaimer in Weight Loss topic?

I was just wondering if you would agree a medical disclaimer, similar to those in the health topics, should be posted in the weight loss topics. Sometimes posters seek advice from a position where a professional really should be involved - e.g. breastfeeding mums, people with eating disorders and people with MH issues linked to weight, and it might just help to signpost as you do in general health that advice from unqualified people on the internet isn't a substitute for consulting a HCP.

Hi @LApprentiSorcier thanks for this suggestion which is definitely something we'd consider. Flowers

Ditto Exercise. Some very odd advice given out there. Some posters think they are experts and in reality aren’t. Dangerous advice there.
