As a follow-up to What should our FAQ contain?What should our FAQ contain?, should "general weight loss advice" be included in the off-topic list? It seems to me that weight control is an essential part of fitness, and applicable to almost any sport. Because the application is so broad, it doesn't make sense to me to have to qualify a question about weight control with applicability to activity X (unless there are very special circumstances like trying to make weight for a wrestling meet).

Specifically, I'd like to get feedback on whether this bullet point should be removed from the off-topic list in the FAQ (I'm not proposing explicitly adding to the on-topic list, just removing it).

Should "general weight loss advice" be on-topic?
