Summary |
Weight Loss Buddy
The internet has become the most valuable resource for information, commerce, and networking in our culture. In fact, it is next to impossible for anyone under the age of 35 to imagine life without cyberspace. Moreover, for those of us that are older than 35 we can fully appreciate the easy access we now have to information when we think of the many years we had to use a library search catalog to gain access to what we needed. One of the popular methods of marketing is website development. Marketers hook consumers by providing helpful education and information and at the same time advertise products throughout the website. No harm is done and generally, the education one can receive from information websites is reliable.
Weight Loss Buddy is a website that offers dieting, weight loss and fitness tools to members. The site is designed to help you make the most of your exercise program and increase the nutritional value of your diet. As long as the consumer is aware that most of the links are advertising and selling products, they can navigate through any hype or hokiness and learn a few things while they are at it.

| Overview |
|
The for-profit website features diet aids and dieting guidelines. It is clearly an advertising clearinghouse for diet products. Several places on the site boldly remind the visitor that anything purchased through the website will be heavily discounted.

| Website |
|
The Weight Loss Buddy website brings to mind supermarket tabloid spreads that use catchy phrases and buzz words to grab bored shopper’s attention. The old and tired “everybuddy needs somebuddy” catch phrase banners the florescent colored website. Hokey!

| Conclusion |
|
Visiting websites such as Weight Loss Buddy can be an efficient way to gather information quickly. Incorporating that information into a lifestyle requires more than reading; it takes initiative to live a disciplined lifestyle of healthy eating and consistent exercise. Certainly, if a reader takes seriously the information disseminated from Weight Loss Buddy, results could happen. This particular site may have conflicts in interest, as it is an advertising site as well as an information site.
When surveying the website for this review it was encouraging to see how much emphasis is placed on healthy eating and consistent exercise. Many of the entries gave practical advice to the reader on how to incorporate exercise into the lifestyle, balanced eating information, education of some of the thermogenics (fat burners) and appetite suppressants that are being researched today.
