Can I mention my meal planning app if the post itself is helpful?
No. “No self-promotion,” bans driving traffic to your blog, shop, newsletter, or social accounts, so a helpful comment that funnels people to your site is still a sales pitch.

Rule summary
- Keep posts relevant to GLP-1 meals, food, and eating challenges: Posts should be clearly related to food, meals, meal planning, recipes, portions, appetite changes, protein, nausea-friendly foods, constipation-friendly foods, restaurant strategies, grocery ideas, or similar day-to-day eating topics while on GLP-1 medication. General weight loss updates, progress photos, medication access questions, dose discussions, or unrelated health topics may be removed if they are not clearly food-related.
- No spam or repetitive posting: Do not post repetitive content, low-effort engagement bait, copied material, or the same recommendation over and over. Accounts that repeatedly post links, promote the same product or page, or show obvious marketer behavior may be removed without warning.
- No unsolicited private messages or off-platform solicitation: Do not use the subreddit to ask members to DM you, message you elsewhere, join your group, book a call, or continue the conversation off Reddit for commercial reasons. If members report unsolicited sales messages, that may result in a ban.
- Be helpful, honest, and respectful: Talk to people like real humans. No shaming people for what they eat, their body size, their medication choice, side effects, pace of loss, or food struggles. No mocking beginner questions. No hostility, personal attacks, or nasty sarcasm. Disagreement is fine. Rudeness is not.
- No misinformation or dangerous advice: Do not give reckless advice about medications, dosing, side effects, or medical care. Do not tell people to ignore severe symptoms, stop prescribed medication without medical guidance, or use unsafe workarounds. Food-based experience sharing is welcome, but present personal experience as personal experience.
- No self-promotion,: Do not use this community to sell products, push coaching, collect emails, grow your audience, advertise services, drop affiliate links, or drive traffic to your blog, shop, newsletter, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook group, Discord, or any outside platform. This includes: direct product promotion “DM me” offers coupon codes affiliate links low-value posts made mainly to drive traffic comments that are really sales pitches
- No fear-mongering or sensationalized content: Do not post dramatic, exaggerated, or misleading content designed to scare people, stir outrage, or farm engagement. Posts should aim to help, inform, or support. not create panic.
- Use clear titles and enough context: When asking for help, include enough detail for others to respond usefully. For example: what med you’re on, how long you’ve been on it, what eating issue you’re dealing with, and what kind of help you want. Vague titles may be removed if they make the sub harder to navigate.
- No harassment, bullying, or identity-based attacks: No harassment, hate, bullying, threats, or abusive language. This includes attacking people over health status, body size, gender, race, religion, disability, or any other personal characteristic.
- Respect privacy: Do not post private information about yourself or others. Do not share screenshots with usernames visible unless you have permission or the content is already public and posted appropriately.
- Moderator discretion applies: Not every bad-faith post fits neatly into a rule. Mods may remove content or ban users when behavior clearly harms the quality, trust, or purpose of the community. The spirit of the rules matters as much as the wording.
Works well
- A specific question with context, like asking for high protein breakfast ideas that go down easy when appetite is low, mentioning your eating issue and what kind of help you want
- A simple recipe write-up for a small portion meal that worked for you, with the steps in the post itself and no link anywhere
- A grocery find post describing a store-bought item, why it works with a changed appetite, and how you use it
- A nausea-friendly snack list based on your own experience, framed clearly as what helped you and not as advice for everyone
- A restaurant strategy post about how you order or portion food when eating out on a GLP-1 medication
- A genuine reply to someone else's food struggle, sharing what worked for you without mentioning anything you sell
Avoid
- Posting your meal planning app, recipe site, newsletter, or TikTok with a link, because “No self-promotion,” covers blogs, shops, and every outside platform
- Dropping affiliate links or coupon codes for protein snacks or grocery products, which the self-promotion rule names directly
- Asking people to DM you for the recipe or to join your Discord, because “No unsolicited private messages or off-platform solicitation,” treats that as a bannable sales funnel
- Reposting the same recipe or recommendation over and over, since “No spam or repetitive posting,” removes repeat linkers without warning
- Writing a vague title like “help with food” with no context, because “Use clear titles and enough context,” says vague titles may be removed
- Sharing a weight loss progress photo or a dose question, which “Keep posts relevant to GLP-1 meals, food, and eating challenges,” calls out as off topic even if your product relates to the med
What r/Glp1meals Is For
This is a support community for people taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and Rybelsus. The whole focus is food. People share small-portion meals, nausea-friendly snacks, easy protein ideas, gentle foods, grocery finds, and simple recipes that fit a shrinking appetite. The description is explicit that there are no strict diet rules and no judgment, just real people sharing what helps. The rules make the boundary clear: posts must be about food, meals, meal planning, recipes, portions, appetite changes, protein, nausea, constipation-friendly foods, restaurant strategies, or grocery ideas. General weight loss updates, progress photos, medication access questions, and dose discussions do not belong here.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides almost everything here is “Keep posts relevant to GLP-1 meals, food, and eating challenges”. If your post is not clearly about food, meals, portions, appetite, protein, nausea-friendly foods, or grocery finds, it can be removed even if you meant well. The next wall is “No self-promotion”, which bans selling, affiliate links, coupon codes, and driving traffic to any outside platform, including blogs, newsletters, TikTok, and Discord. “No spam or repetitive posting” backs that up, and it warns that accounts showing obvious marketer behavior may be removed without warning. “No unsolicited private messages or off-platform solicitation” closes the last door, so asking people to DM you or book a call is out. If you do post, “Use clear titles and enough context” matters, because vague titles may be removed. Finally, “No misinformation or dangerous advice” means any food or side effect story you share should be framed as your personal experience, not medical advice.
What To Post
Post real food content, and make it genuinely useful. A good shape is a specific question with context, like what you are eating for protein when food noise is loud, or a gentle meal that worked for you on a rough week. Share a simple recipe, a grocery find, or a restaurant strategy, and describe it in plain detail so someone could actually use it. If you are a founder, the respectful move is to participate as a person, not as a brand. Answer food questions, share your own eating experience with the medication if you have one, and never attach a link, a product name you sell, or an invitation to continue elsewhere. Write a clear title and put the useful details in the post itself, such as the eating issue you are dealing with and what kind of help you want.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is any form of promotion. That means no links to your blog, shop, or newsletter, no affiliate links, no coupon codes, no DM me offers, and no comments that are really sales pitches. Do not post the same thing repeatedly or copy content across the sub, because repeat marketers get removed without warning. Never ask members to message you privately or move the conversation off Reddit for commercial reasons, since reports of that can lead to a ban. Off-topic posts get pulled too, so skip weight loss updates, progress photos, dose talk, and medication access questions. Avoid vague titles with no context, and avoid anything dramatic or exaggerated that reads like fear-mongering. Be careful with health claims: share food experiences as personal experience, never as medical advice. Last, keep the tone kind, because rudeness, shaming, and mocking beginner questions all break the rules here.

Common questions about r/Glp1meals
Can I share a grocery product I found?
Only if it is genuinely food related and you have no stake in it. The rules allow grocery finds and product experiences, but repeated recommendations of the same product count as spam.
Can I ask about eating at restaurants on GLP-1 medication?
Yes. “Keep posts relevant to GLP-1 meals, food, and eating challenges,” lists restaurant strategies as an on-topic eating subject.
Can I share what worked for my nausea?
Yes, as long as it is framed as your personal experience. “No misinformation or dangerous advice,” welcomes food-based experience sharing but forbids presenting it as medical guidance.
Can I invite people to DM me for my free recipe guide?
No. “No unsolicited private messages or off-platform solicitation,” bans asking members to DM you or continue the conversation off Reddit for commercial reasons.
