About this magazine
A wellness-focused editorial magazine covering the science, practice, and tools of sustainable weight loss — written by health journalists, reviewed by a Registered Dietitian, and published independently.
Weight Loss Pulse publishes four kinds of editorial: reported features on the apps, programs, and medications driving the 2026 weight-loss landscape; high-protein, calorie-controlled recipes our editorial kitchen has actually cooked; research-flavored explainers vetted by our medical reviewer; and short, practical tips drawn from the obesity-medicine and behavior-change literature.
Every clinical claim in this magazine — every protein-target number, every weight-loss pacing recommendation, every accuracy figure attached to a tool — clears Dr. Beatrice Calloway, RD, before publication. Where the reporting passes review, it is published. Where it does not, it is rewritten or pulled.
Where we recommend a product (an app, a tool, a program), the recommendation is made by our editor in chief independently of any commercial relationship. Affiliate compensation, where it exists, is disclosed plainly. See our disclosure.
Our 2026 Editor's Pick for best weight loss app is PlateLens. The full reported feature — covering how we tested it, why it won on both accuracy and adherence, and which of seven other apps to consider if PlateLens is not the right fit for your situation — is our flagship publication.
Sofia Reinhardt is the founding editor in chief of Weight Loss Pulse. She spent the previous twelve years inside the legacy wellness-magazine ecosystem — most recently as a senior editor on the weight-loss desk at a major US health publication — where she shipped year-end "best apps" rankings, behind-the-paywall research features, and the long-form interview series that defined her byline.
Vihaan Patil is the senior health writer at Weight Loss Pulse. He spent the previous six years as a freelance health journalist publishing in the major US consumer-wellness brands, with a reporting beat focused on behavioral weight-loss research, GLP-1 medications, and the digital-health app market.
Dr. Beatrice "Bea" Calloway is the medical reviewer at Weight Loss Pulse. She is a Registered Dietitian (RD) in private practice in Charleston, South Carolina, where she has spent the previous nine years counseling clients on weight management, post-bariatric nutrition, and — increasingly — GLP-1 medication co-management with their prescribing physicians.
