      Yes. 1000 words is minimum nowadays.                                      But putting words of 350 to 500 for a poem is likewise acceptable.

            It's generic and, as Rupert says, it just repeats all the other stuff already available. And what is that strange last paragraph?
            
            "Example of a typical day of the weight loss food program
            A diet plan to lose weight, how does it work? Using an example of a typical day, we show you how to complete your plan. We start with breakfast and continue until dinner. For our typical day, we expect a total caloric intake of around 1700 calories per day. We also list the different macronutrients".
            
            Who is 'we'? That sounds as though you used AI or copied it from elsewhere.
            
            And what is this?
            
            "We also offer you another option: download our meal plan template for free . You also enter your goal, your individual calorie needs and your sporting activity."
            
            Copy and paste?
            
            "We have also included the calories and macronutrients for you in the recipes we offer you. You can also consult our calorie table . We have listed different foods and their total calories for you."
            
            What recipes? What calorie table? It's as though you haven't read the material you've copied.

               You have removed the intended paragraph. Can you give me some advice on what to modify?

                  Everything copied from other sources.

                     Ah, he's taken it down. So it was all copied.

                        The sad truth is that there is way more spurious stuff put on here for consideration than material by honest writers who want to improve.
                        
                        My default assumption nowadays is that the writing is copied or AI because it usually is. I wish things were different.
                        
                        So often, we're just trying to figure out what skullduggery's going on. I don't believe that was the original intention for writers asking for feedback in the forums.

   There are literally millions of weight loss/diet articles on the internet and I don't see anything in your piece that sets it apart from the competition.
   
   In addition, unless you have special expertise in this topic your article is going to rank very low with search engines and consequently get very few readers.
   
   There are also grammar errors; for example, there is never a space before a period/full stop.

   Yes, I have a 10,000 word one, but I suspect that Google only likes short content.

   "Are articles up to 2000 words accepted?"
   
   I don't understand the intention behind the question, there are numerous potential interpretations.
   
   All I can say is that some articles under 2,000 words are accepted for publication but certainly not all.
   
   Quality is more important than length, the length can vary but the quality always has to be high.

   But why are writers that are AI friendly worrying pains taking skilled writers with their foolish questions? And later to be banned?
