Can I know why a site promoting healthy eating and weight loss has WENDY'S ads on top of our food tracking page; illustrating burgers and fries ?????

    They must have ads for revenue; as far as WHICH ads you get - it's all based on what you have searched for/clicked on.

    If you use Firefox you can download the "Adblock Plus" plugin that should solve that problem for you.

    I haven't seen any fast food ones either. Lots of Medifast (with the icecream and cupcakes) and lots of exercise ones. Right now its a Dean Koontz book.

    In my opinion 'Wendy's' or any other fast food joint isn't horrible. It's all about picking the healthier options. Like a grilled chicken wrap instead of a burger.

    Thankful for the ads--they keep the site free for us! :wink:
  • There are ads on this site? I’ve never seen them. Or are you guys referring to the app?

    No, we're on desktop computers - I don't think the phone apps have them?

    It's not there today, but my favorite, which I see frequently, is the "5 foods to never eat to help lose belly fat" It has a smaller text that says, "To lose weight, never eat" and then an arrow pointing to....


    wait for it...

    a banana? Seriously? Never eat a banana if you want to lose weight?

    Sweet! So the double fudge brownies are fine, as long as I stay away from the high potassium fresh fruit...
    Good to know...
