Tune-In Tuesday: Moving Beyond Marie Claire

As many "healthy living bloggers" may already know, there was recently a controversial article published in Marie Claire magazine. The article, titled "The Hunger Diaries: How Health Writing Could Be Putting You at Risk," took a very critical, negative stance toward some of my favorite blogs: Carrots N Cake, Meals and Miles, Healthy Tipping Point, and three others.

Although the piece raised some legitimate issues, I felt that the content was presented in a malicious manner. Many even considered it hypocritical for the magazine to criticize these well-meaning women when the publication frequently posts articles showing size zero models and get-thin-quick tips.

Basically, the whole thing made me think twice about the type of magazines I buy.This Tune-In Tuesday post will list the magazines I do enjoy reading. These publications made the list because they provide mostly reasonable, healthy, realistic cooking/fitness/lifestyle tips.







What are your favorite magazines? What are your thoughts on the Marie Claire article?
