People should not accept medical advice over the internet unless from a verified doctor.
Correct.
Weight loss qualifies as medical. Losing weight the wrong way can totally screw you up and mess with your overall health,
Abosutely.
taking it from the "Trust me, I tried this, it worked" average joe poster is just ignorant.
Why is it ignorant? There are plenty of "average joe posters" that have been overweight and lost it. They have learned tips and tricks that have helped them. Some of those tips and tricks were learned from other people. Why not share your knowledge to help someone else?
Of course one thing may work for someone and not the other but that is even more reason to get more advice from others to get different ideas. Again you need to consult your doctor before starting anything new, especially something as hard and complicated as weight loss.
