Have you ever been watching television and a commercial for Hydroxycut comes on featuring a male or female who went from 250 pounds to 150 pounds and looks like a fitness model just from using Hydroxycut? Although these results may seem extreme this is what many fitness advertisements promote; portraying unrealistic body images and displaying false results. Fitness advertising can be found in print and broadcast forms. While fitness advertising can be viewed as having both positives and negatives, I believe fitness advertising is negative. This paper will discuss the negatives of fitness advertising, to include creating negative body images and promoting false results. It will, also, address the counterarguments against fitness advertising being negative.

Hi. Joshua Diaz. For this assignment, I picked a candy, "Jolly Rancher", advertisement like you. When I see first your advertisement, I thought it is a medicine because of the words, "LIFE SAVER." The candy in this picture is very noticeable and big whereas other advertisements include diverse materials. It does not include any people and objects. Also, it has only two colors, white and dark blue. The white color looks healthy and pure to eat and the dark blue colored background support the candy to be main of the advertisement. The texts below the candy explains the taste of this candy and calories information. Customers can decide whether they buy or not it after reading this texts. However, unfortunately, customers cannot know the real

     This ad is laid out in such a way that your eye follows the script right down the page. If you first look at the ad you are immediately drawn to the picture of the bottle of Hennessy. The backdrop of the ad is all cool colors such as navy blue, Carolina blue and white, but the bottle of Hennessey on the other hand stands out due to the fact that it is a warm dark orange

The product more or less receives a seal of approval without the consumer ever really knowing whether the “expert” is truly an expert at all. The professional’s actual doctorate may not even be in the medical field, but in a completely different field and unrelated all together. This is done because viewers ask fewer questions about a product or information when backed by a professional. This tactic is used to gain the trust of the viewers. Once they have the viewers’ trust in hand, Iovative Health Sciences, Inc., persuades these young female viewers to believe almost anything that they want them too. These women become inclined to believe that Hydroxycut will work for them; fast, easy, and with no hassles. This method of gaining the female consumers trust coupled with Hydroxycut ads’ other advertising fallacies for example, the airbrushed and digitally enhanced photos along with Hydroxycut’s over exaggerated or falsified statements; make their already vulnerable female audience more susceptible to their deceptions. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), an agency created to protect America’s consumers, drew up a report called, “Weight-Loss Advertising: An Analysis of Current Trends,” which investigated weight-loss advertising. In 2001, a content analysis found that over half of all advertising for weight-loss products used fabricated, unsupported claims. In an investigation of 300 ads from

Many advertisements nowadays don’t advertise objects with the verity of their quality. Rather, they get someone in the famous industry to advertise their product so the people that are watching see their favorite famous person and want to buy it because they use it. When most of the people that promote it don’t use it, or it never truly works as they say, and another way they advertise is through foods.

The Nutrigrain Choices commercial begins with a woman getting off the subway and moves to her working in her office. The screen splits and two scenarios are set forward: one where she chose to eat a Nutrigrain bar on the left and the other where she chose a donut on the right. There is a voice-over about one decision leading to another. The woman on the left is shown eating a burrito, brownie, and pasta as the commercial continues. On the right, we see her choosing a salad, a cup of fruit, and vegetables. The woman on the right is seen walking up an escalator with a smile while her counterpart rides up with a wearied expression. The woman on the left walks away after drying her face, but the one on the right continues looking at her face with a smile. An image of wheat appears and shifts to picture of Nutrigrain’s strawberry cereal bar, as the audience is told the product is made with real fruit and whole grains.

Single white female age 47 years old and she started taking Fen-Phen for 8 months. She started having difficulty breathing and was experiencing fatigue. She did not realize it was the diet pill she was taking that was causing her fatigue and shortness of breath. She went to her primary care doctor and he said she had allergies and asthma.

She trusted the doctor that prescribed the diet aide pill for her to lose weight not knowing the effects it would have on her health.

There is an abundance of ads in magazines that may not pertain to you at all. But, there are those few ad’s some see while skimming through a magazine while in line to check out at the grocery store that catch your attention. Many will look at the ad while they are waiting in line and some will even purchase the magazine as they are interested in what they are both seeing and reading. People will see many ads in magazines. Most with the intent to get one to purchase a product of some kind. While I was skimming through a magazine I purchased at the store, the ad that caught my eye was a weight loss ad. The product is called NutriSystem which is targeting people who are looking for a weight loss program that has many of the same benefits as NutriSystem does.

The ads I am doing is mount franklin and solo, and they are trying to advertise there drink they have made.

There are almost always more questions for those of us who want to and need to lose weight than answers. Which supplements will give me the fastest results? The best weight loss pills are which ones? For the millions of people who need to lose weight these are two of the most important questions they ask. There would not be a billion plus dollar industry related to losing weight and getting fit if there were easy answers. What would be the best answer to these questions? The supplements which produce the best results for me. That may seem like too easy of an answer. However, this is the answer we are all looking to find.

This product is imported from France and is being sold for recreational purposes such as; socializing drinking, enjoyable times, and elegance class. It is said that nothing draws us together more than alcohol. Sitting down and having a drink with fellow peers usually leads to cheerfulness, laughter, and an all-around good time. The people in the visual allow one to remember the stress reliever that alcohol helps sustain. When individuals look at this depiction they receive a constant image of a worthy time running through their mind, so that when they go to the store and see the ultra-premium vodka they remember the advertisement and think about purchasing the merchandise. That then allows the buyer to put themselves in a similar setting, in which they relive the advertisement in their head. The people in the visual are socializing among each other which brings upon another reason to the selling of the product. It is show that this product is appropriate to have during social events as the group is seen with their drinks held high with positive facial expressions shown. The idea of this advertisement is to show that every brand represents something different, especially in the liquor industry. Since Sean “Diddy” combs is an equal share venture, he applies the alcoholic beverage to his lifestyle, which is rich and

Oscar Mayer presents two arguments of it being natural and not artificial. In the WomensHealth magazine, Oscar Mayer uses parts of nature to present that it’s natural, but the Hollywood sign in the background projects it to be artificial. Oscar Mayer has a lot of additives that make it a good product for the consumers, like the descriptive details of what’s in it. This advertisement challenges the socio economic status including gender and age. Also this advertisement shows different ideas for the consumers to figure out, that can sometimes be elusive when you analyze it.

Today 's society is constantly presented with misrepresentations of the ideal body image through the advertising of diet plans and supplements. Companies in the fitness industry scam people into buying useless products or services by advertising with individuals that have, what the mass media sees as, the 'perfect ' body composition. In addition to getting consumers to buy into a product or service, these companies also aid society with the spreading of this fake idea of what classifies as the perfect body. They portray a body image that is unattainable for most individuals in society, despite how many of those supplements being advertised they buy. The models used in these advertisements, are in most cases, starving themselves, enhanced via illegal substances, or are photo-shopped to the point where even they do not look like the model displayed in the ad. All this has led to many people wanting to strive for that perfect body, that in reality, is impossible to achieve. In order to show the affect these advertisements play in our society, I will be deconstructing multiple ads in the fitness industry, as well as multiple peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles centered around the impact media has on an individual 's self-image.
