Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/odds-and-magazines-are-stacked-against-diet-success/ How many column inches in women’s magazines are devoted to dieting every year? Enough to cross the Nullarbor? Circumnavigate the globe? Traverse the universe? “Get your body beach ready. Now!” “Your best body. Fast.” “Your best-ever body in four weeks.” “Shrink one size in four weeks.” And my personal favourite: “Drop a dress size by Saturday!” Really? I should issue a little disclaimer and own up to writing many vacuous and silly diet coverlines during my 15-plus years working in women’s magazines. Seven kilos in seven days? Only joking. But you get the drift. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Caroline Roessler) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/odds-and-magazines-are-stacked-against-diet-success/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/odds-and-magazines-are-stacked-against-diet-success/#item1501 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:55:00 +0000 Caroline Roessler | Author bios | The Punch
