Does it work?

How does Weight Watchers work? Weight Watchers helps men and women to lose weight by getting them to become more aware of their calorie intake and loss. While they offer different types of weight loss programs, one of their most popular is the Points System. The Points System assigns a specific number of points to every type of food, based on serving size, calories, fiber content, and fat grams. The Points System also assigns a negative number of points to various exercises that people perform during the Weight Watchers program. At the end of the week, you tally up these points and try to come in under your total weekly point allowance. This overall point allowance is based on your current weight and your weight loss goals. Weight Watchers also provides weekly meetings to help support you through your weight loss experience.

What’s The Food Like? You can eat anything you want on Weight Watchers. The key is working what you want into your allotted Points. There are no forbidden foods on Weight Watchers. You will be encouraged by your leader to strive for a healthy diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, low-fat dairy and water. Your leader can also help calculate the Points values of your favorite recipes and to make substitutions that decrease their Points value.

Pros & Cons ProsPros –No foods are forbidden –Some education on nutrition is provided –Mothers may be able to bring kids –Slow and steady weight loss is achieved –Encourages portion control ConsCons –The cost may be prohibitive –The cost may be prohibitive approx $13 per week –The group atmosphere isn't for everyone –Weekly weigh-ins are required –Weekly progress may discourage you –There is no set diet on Weight Watchers

Does It Work? A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that people who had followed the Weight Watchers Points program for two years lost an average of about six pounds. Those who also attended Weight Watchers meetings were found to be more successful, losing an average of 11 pounds after two years.
