Meta The sub is back open! rules, posts, how tos!
This sub is now reopened for all users to share their recipes and is now under new management, so let's go over a few of the new rules and the system! You'll find the full rule list in the sidebar or under the about section, so!
Rule 1: posts must contain a recipe! When using any of the flairs outside of discussion it is expected that a recipe will be provided within 24h of posting, recipes can be added as text in the comments, an imgur link, or link to where you found the recipe (IF and ONLY IF that link is not directing to your own content.)
Rule 2: no seeking or giving medical advice. Are you here to talk about your cancer curing recipes? Are you asking people to help cure your diabetes? This is not the place for you! You may find flairs to diets frequently used to aid medical issues (example, low sodium, low carb, gluten free) and providing and discussing recipes used in those diets is encouraged, asking for medical advice surrounding them is NOT.
Rule 4: no promoting or encouraging unhealthy diets. The concept of health and a healthy diet is dependent on the individual and their health needs, that being said some diets are NOT going to be considered healthy here, this is not the place to discuss your 700kcal OMAD or mono diets for example.
Rule 5: no spam or self promo. It appears that before this sub was shut there was a large issue with self promo and spam, this is NOT the place to advertise or drive people towards your blog/cookbook/tiktok/youtube channel, if we believe you are doing this you will be banned, if you wish to share recipes you have made you may share UNWATERMARKED videos or photos with the recipe typed in the comments, the only watermarking we will allow is your own reddit username.
Rule 6: no health policing. As previously stated, different people have different health needs, not everyone is going to consider the same foods and recipes healthy, if someone is posting a recipe they consider healthy *FOR THEM* you will not argue because it doesn't fit your standards of health, use the flairs, follow the flairs, here are some examples of what is and isn't ok:
NOT OK: "x is healthy? LOL", "this is higher calorie than regular x wtf", "cheese is the devil and you're a dairy demon" "non-stick pans will kill you!"
IS OK: "can you sub x for y for higher protein/lower fat/lower cal/etc", "if you add x to this you can increase the fibre too!", "try to avoid using metal on non-stick, it can hurt the pan!"
Now that the rules are established, let's move onto the second point, FLAIRS!
This sub is now using mandatory flairs, you will find options for different diets/types of eating from bulking, to gluten-free, to calorie control etc, this is in place to try and mitigate some of the health policing and to help you find recipes that fit your health needs, is healthy for you low fat? The low carb flair doesn't need to hear about it! Is your primary focus calorie control? A recipe posted under the gluten-free tag doesn't care that their bread is higher calorie! is clean eating and whole foods the most important health marker for you? no need to police someone eating hot dogs under the calorie control flair!
You will also find a discussion flair for any general discussions or questions, and a general recipe flair to use if you don't know how to categorize your meal.
I think that's it, if you have any suggestions you can comment them or modmail in, hopefully the new system will work well and we look forward to seeing everyone's rule abiding recipes, we've only just started to go through the sub and try to get it going so please bear with us through initial organization and growing pains!

“Cheese is the devil and you’re a dairy demon” is an excellent insult to use in daily life, thanks for that 😂

u/lucy-kathe Apr 14 '23
Rule 3 is be good to one another! The basic "don't be a dick in the sub" rule, I didn't mention every rule because I didn't want to make the post unnecessarily long, the full rules are in the about section!

Please post a full recipe and macro breakdown in the comments
Please remember to include a full recipe, calorie count per serving, and macro breakdown (protein / carbohydrates / fat), otherwise your post will be removed. There are no exceptions to this rule. We appreciate additional information, such as micronutrient content.
If you don't already have this information, you can create a recipe using an online calculator (like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer, both require a free account).

Is cross posting okay? I’d hope so because that’s probably going to be the best way to advertise the sub
