Magazines to Makeover Your Body
Reviewed by Dietitian, Juliette Kellow BSc RD
Want advice on slimming? Then forget going to your doctor. According to the covers of most women’s magazines you’ll find plenty of information inside their pages. Whether it’s a new celeb diet or the hottest exercise trend, you’re guaranteed to find something to suit in most women’s magazines.
But as well as popular weekly and monthly magazines featuring diet, health and fitness stories, there are also plenty of magazines dedicated solely to the area of slimming. Here's Juliette's reviews of 5 of the most popular sellers.
Two sets of marks out of 10 have been awarded, one based on the magazine’s suitability to help you with slimming and one based on overall content and feel.
The Five Magazines:
Slimming Magazine 14/20
Juliette's highest overall score goes to Slimming for it's inspirational features and for keeping the needs of slimmers in mind.
Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Magazine 12/20
Juliette liked the easy to follow diet plan but is less than impressed with uninspiring features.
Slimming World Magazine 3/20
Great success stories in this mag, but the diet info's not much use to anyone who's not a club member.
Weight Watchers Magazine 2/20
Not much here for anyone other than Weight Watchers members, a lot of advertising for the brand.
Slimmer Magazine 1/20
The success stories were the one redeeming feature for Juliette, otherwise it's a thumbs down.
