    very nice site. The header is nice, but I would choose a different font... The orange color to white makes the last link almost unreadable.

    I would have liked to seen a border, perhaps a translucent border, around the body...

    Great site though, I like the layout and color scheme.

    Good luck!

    Hi Solo very nice site.

    The only thing i would suggest is get rid of of adsense. Considering what you make from a click and what you could make from a sale. It's not worth loosing a visitor for few cents. Instead focus you efforts on having the visitor click through to your products.

    Remember if you give them an option to leave your site, they will probably take it.

    one tip: make the left menu link with no underline and give them hover animation.

    The blue borders on your adsense ads on the right looks "off" change it to a pale orange instead or white.

    Thanks guys for the review. The adsense ads are just for looks. It can be changed. I've added rep points for you guys.

    Hi,

    You can't really read the categories on the right because of the gradient.
    Maybe you can change the colors for the adsense to match the rest of the site (if it's just for looks)

    The content is pretty good for general weight loss, but there are new methods coming out all the time. maybe you can try weight loss related products through amazon or cj?

    Aside from that, you can promote your site by offering free ebooks or something related to weight loss.

    Thanks mmay! I'm thinking of making a hover image for the categories.

    ebooks and amazon products are great suggestions. Thanks. Added rep for you.

    Your site looks pretty good, and you have a good domain.

    The gradient in the header is not so good, the right side is too white and you can't read your text which is white.

    Aldo i agree about the underlines with gradient under the navigation on the right. Doesn't look so good.

    I like articles section with the thumbnails, it looks good!

    I think the header needs some work. Also the contrast is a bit too much for my eyes. Try to use pastels, I think that would work well for this site.

    Good luck!

    The "weight loss articles" and "weight loss tools" text is positioned a little high in the titles.

    @gatorade: thanks for pointing that out

    @ichigo: fonts are small because some articles have lots of contents and would make the site long

    Added rep for you both. thanks.
