I want to know why men can lose their gut in 10 minutes a day but it takes women 15 minutes a day to blast their belly fat.
To be fair, the women's cover does just say "in 15 minutes" and doesn't specify per day. So I just have to exercise once, for 15 minutes, and all my belly fat will be completely blasted, right? Right...?

Or is it 15 minutes, 10 times a day?? We might never know. Quick, someone run out and buy the magazine! You know, for science.4 -

In the taglines, men usually get "ripped", women "toned". Men get "rock hard abs", women "a flat belly". And so forth.
There was even a set of special issues (photo below) put out by that publisher, one for men and one for women, that were aimed at bodyweight fitness. Inside, based on a flip-through, there were pretty much exactly the same exercises. They just were photographed with models of the appropriate sex. Taglines on the cover slanted very diffently, though.
These are so archaic. Completely failing to recognize the other 67 genders.
I gave you a woo for that.
How can you not know that it's 68?
gender count ??

Besides, everyone knows the best diet was printed in Vogue, circa 1970's.

yeah, my dear old mother's physician told her that she needs to cut down to just 2 cups of coffee a day.
I told my mom: " pffft.... no problem, just go out and buy two very, very large coffee mugs. "

Besides, I don't see where it limits the cups to 1 per meal; it just says black coffee. I'd think that make it the "free food" item on the list, so you're good! lol4 -

It's for an awesome cause (you) my friend.
That would be rough on me...I've had to go multiple days at the docs request before. I did not like it at all.0 -
This is why I don't like keto. The marketing for it makes it sound like a woo-ful scam. I can't even walk into the As Seen On TV store at the mall without facing a giant display of keto supplements.
I know, the core program is a totally valid lifestyle etc and people do great on it but I'm SO tired of seeing it everywhere.This is why I don't like keto.

For those of us who do take keto seriously and have valid medical reasons for doing it, it is extremely frustrating to see all the money grabbing merchants trying to cash in. Unfortunately all too often the products are full of non keto ingredients, way over priced and unnecessary. I lost weight and got my health back by being medically supervised and only eating unprocessed meat and vegetables. No gimmick products or get skinny quick potions, just sensible low carb eating. My profile picture is me after losing 35kg. It took nearly 8 months to do it, so certainly no quick fix!!!11 -

Some of these workouts in fitness magazines are just flat out overkill &/or make no sense; back in the day before the internet, these were the only readily available "references" most people had access to (outside of paying a personal trainer).
Looking back on these as Jeff does in the video, most of these are just page filler & severely lacking in logic/progressive approach to lifting weights...good example going over the lateral raise overkill. Ads = absolute trash too (seems like more than half the pages were ads)
Got to keep chugging out & selling magazines even if the content sucks...2 -

My relatives take everything Dr.Oz says about weight loss as fact. My aunt starts every new diet or fad or product he mentions. Drives me NUTS.3 -

I'm pretty sure that I could drop 16 pounds in 5 days.
It would just be unhealthy, uncomfortable, fleeting and quite possibly illegal.
... but entirely doable.2 -

I like the way they advertise 'beat scams' even though what they put on the front cover is virtually a diet scam1 -
