Exercises Awards: 8 Reasons Why They Don't Work & What You Can Do About It

Yes, its that time of the year for the biggest weight loss ad binge. Magazines (such as those here below) feature huge cover stories on weight loss. And weight loss advertisement seems to be all over, especially on those new year s books. This leaves many wondering just how to find and use those slimming magazines. So we decided to give you some advice on how to look for them. First off, you need to understand the weight loss ad trends. For the past several years, magazines have been trumping television ads in terms of their success rate. Although some wonder if this is because magazines are catering to an older consumer base, most experts believe the switch is due to weight loss advertisements becoming more mainstream. The result: less of a stigma about being overweight and/or obese. Also, magazines that cater to the "hollywood" crowd tend to be more explicit than those that cater to the "everyday woman". That means the weight loss ad you see may not fea...

An increasing number of weight loss ad campaigns stress the idea of being 'thin', as if being thin was an indication of health and wealth. Advertisements are even being created that stress losing weight as part of a woman's empowerment process. One such ad campaign features a beautiful, slim model lying on a beach, with text stating simply, 'It's Time To Lose Weight'. The text underneath the photo states, 'ristally healthy.' The implication is that the model has lost weight through diet and exercise and is now looking into ways to be truly 'in shape'. Older, outdated weight loss ad approaches stress that there are only a few options when it comes to losing weight. Often these ads stress that only by losing a certain amount will you have a healthy lifestyle or that losing any weight at all is dangerous and unhealthy. Some even stress that one size fits all when it comes to being thin. Other adverts stress that because a person is not slim ...

Yes, its that time o time of year for the weight loss ad boom. Magazines (including this one below) feature huge cover stories on slimming down. And weight loss ad campaigns seem to be everywhere - especially in those new year s magazines. It is great that people are finally getting healthy. But I wonder if this is the right time for ad campaigns. When was the last time you saw a Weight loss ad? When was the last time you saw one in your local magazine or your favorite doctor's office? Most likely you saw one or two in either place. This is not surprising because many people are trying to lose weight and are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars for help. But there are many ways to spend money that don't involve the average consumer. The Food and Drug Administration, the main regulator of ads for health products, is reviewing whether weight loss advertisements could become deceptive. If they did, then companies could be prosecuted for lying about the effe...

Are you looking for weight loss adverts? If so, then it seems like the world is going to be an increasingly slim place. In America alone, sales of slimming drinks and diet aids have already reached $7 billion. But the wild side: fewer consumers are actually looking for weight loss and diet help. The decline in the number of dieters has coincided with a change in attitudes and in the market. Americans are more aware of what they need to do to stay healthy than ever before. A slimmed down life is now seen as normal. And more importantly, dieters want to do it right - without the pain. So the fall in weight loss ad sales has coincided with a rise in diet program sign ups. The first thing you need to know about weight loss ads is that they don't work. There is no such thing as a magic pill. Diet program signs and pills are merely smoke and mirrors. So even if a few people find success, it doesn't mean that the entire population will. Instead, diet advertising tends to f...

Weight loss adverts can be found in magazines, on TV, the internet and even billboards. Magazines (such as this one) feature extensively on weight loss. And weight loss adverts seem to be there almost every year, especially in those fresh year's magazines. So what is behind the weight loss adverts? The first type of weight loss ad we shall look at is that which promotes a particular brand of diet pill or has launched a new supplement or drink. These can be quite cleverly disguised as advertorials and are sometimes quite humorous. For example: "How can you loose 50 pounds in 3 weeks!" Such a slogan is likely to encourage people to give it a try. Another kind of weight loss ad is the one that encourages a person to try a particular meal replacement or perhaps even a particular brand of energy drink or supplement. Again these can be quite ingenious. If all you have to do to lose weight is to substitute one meal for another, then a meal replacement product such as S...

The glossy magazine is always a great read, even when it does have ads. Below is a list of the most popular dieting magazines in the UK right now. As it is January, we shall see lots of diet plans being released for next year. Some are bound to be successful and some will fail. But here are the ones which appear to be doing well with readers.

You can also go on to read the summaries of the articles in these two dieting magazines. The "Ketosis Results" is a brand new magazine on w...

Weight loss ads are a great source for motivation. The number of Americans seeking to lose weight has fallen to 49%, according to the American Association for Advancement Research. However, the weight loss and diet industry are also one of the largest and most profitable industries. Weight loss advertisers use the weight loss market as a large, highly-visible market. Because it's so important to help people lose weight, you'll find that there are many weight loss products and services available. One of the fastest growing weight loss ad trends is meal replacement therapy (MRT). It is particularly popular among African Americans and seniors. The concept behind Meal replacement therapy is that people who are calorie poor are more prone to become obese. The idea behind meal replacement therapy is that you take a certain amount of calories each day and then replace them with something else. Some of these are foods that we usually eat every day, like cereal and pasta; other...
