healthy weight loss themes. This research used two measures to determine which
magazines contained the most weight loss content. First, we analyzed the number
of articles on weight loss, and second, we determined the number of weight loss
advertisements. We counted the number of advertisements in each issue and noted
the type of advertisements.

used a sample of 31 issues of the health magazine Fitness between March 2013
and Septe westernmagazine.org mber 2013. This magazine is bi-monthly and does not publish monthly
issues. The magazine pages and covers were analyzed using a coding sheet that

from a prior study on skin and weight loss to capture relevant weight loss
content. The article content was then categorized by category and theme.

magazine featured 39 articles related to weight loss. This was out of 819 total
articles. The most common topics were diet and exercise. Many articles
