Weight Watchers Probably Won't Help You Lose Tons of Weight, So Maybe Stop Dieting?
Weight Watchers is an institution. For almost five decades, it's been seen as the sane alternative to the dump truck of more intense dieting programs that surround us. Unlike incredibly restrictive programs such as Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem, which include their own chemical-death meals in Lilliputian portions, or fad diets like paleo-Atkins-South Beach and the incomprehensible cleanse varietals, Weight Watchers is downright free-spirited. The most socially-acceptable of all restricted eating plans, Weight…

WeightWatchers Is Pivoting Back to Weight Loss—Not That They’d Been Fooling Anyone
The company acquired a telehealth service that offers semaglutide prescriptions.
Oprah’s Investment in Weight Watchers Was Smart Because the Program Doesn’t Work
Winfrey’s venture is, in fact, a brilliant investment, although not necessarily for the reason she thinks. It’s brilliant not because Weight Watchers works but because it doesn’t. It’s the perfect business model. People give Weight Watchers the credit when they lose weight. Then they regain the weight and blame themselves. This sets them up to join Weight Watchers all over again, and they do.
The One Big Mistake Weight Watchers Made for 14 Years!
While our opinions still differ significantly, I do think that Weight Watchers has taken a step in the right direction by suggesting that people interested in losing weight look at quality of food, not quantity of food. If this capitulation by Weight Watchers isn’t enough evidence to help you stop counting calories and start counting food quality and composition, I don’t know what is.
Weight Watchers Revamps Its Magic Formula
The real secret to the company’s success isn’t as much about dissecting the relationship between fat and carbs and protein as it is understanding the links between nutrition, weight gain, and psychology
Weight Watchers: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
When it comes to diets, Weight Watchers is probably the most famous and longest standing contender in the ring. Everyone photoseems to have some passing knowledge of the program, regardless of if they have ever tried it or not. Most people know a success story or two as well. What most people don’t know is the nitty gritty of the system, and the good, the bad and the ugly about this program.
Why Weight Watchers is actually a low carb diet
The reason, I believe, most of these diets have some efficacy – at least in the short-term – is that they all reduce sugar and highly refined carbohydrate intake, either explicitly or implicitly.
Why Weight Watchers Won’t Watch Me Ever Again
Weight Watchers is always your friend, it will always take you back when you’ve lost your way. It forgives you, for failing, every time. And that is where the problems lies.
‘I Love Bread’: Oprah’s Greatest—And Most Controversial—Act Yet
With three beautiful words in her Weight Watchers campaign, Oprah is giving hope to bread enthusiasts in a gluten-free world, saving the bread industry—and angering people, too.

Weight Watchers
Our proven program is not a diet. It’s about living. Your best self isn’t just about a magical number on the scale.

Yes, you will lose weight. But with Weight Watchers, you’ll also gain a whole new perspective on getting — and staying — healthy.

Few diet plans have stood the test of time the way Weight Watchers has. Even our own survey of dieters showed that Weight Watchers was the favorite, over South Beach and Atkins. One of the reasons Weight Watchers is so popular is because they don’t force a taboo food list. You’re wise enough to make your own choices of what to eat. Instead, they promote portion control, which is a common sense way of eating.
