Weight Watchers Diet

When founder Jean Nidetch began inviting friends into her Queens, New York home once a week to trade weight loss strategies, Weight Watchers was born. Now millions of people turn to the group-based program to help them shed weight. A robust medical advisory board featuring high-profile nutrition and weight loss experts, keeps the company on its toes, and those developing diet strategies include registered dietitians and scientists. But instead of telling you what you can and can't eat, Weight Watchers motivates dieters to make healthful decisions to help instill permanent lifestyle changes. With variety, simplicity and a lot of flexibility, it's easy to understand why dieters lose weight on this plan -- if only because they can stick to it! Even the POINTS system is relatively painless once you get the hang of it.
