Advantages: Well-Written , Useful, Diverse

Disadvantages: Too Many Ads, Bit Repetitive

I started subscribing to Men's Health about 3 years ago. At the time I was a lager-swilling, curry-munching FAT-bloke. But with its help, I eventually became a lager-swilling, curry-munching FIT-bloke.

The articles are well written and don't just concentrate on Diet and Fitness, but also cover other aspects of life in general too.

It's also aimed more at the normal guy in the street rather than the usual muscle-head mags.

I actually found it quite inspirational, i.e. it got even me up off my lardy ass and down the gym.

I'd have two main criticisms though:

1. Way too many ads - you have to go about 10 pages in just to find the contents. It's a bit much when you're paying 3 quid for the mag anyway.

2. It all gets a bit samey - I don't subscribe any more, I just buy it now and then when an article takes my fancy. There's only so many times they can rewrite the same old "Lose your Gut" or "Become a Love Machine (in ten easy steps)" articles.
