world. It’s about food consciousness, real results and changing people’s relationship with food, for good.
Our four supportive pillars ensure our program is flexible & convenient, simple to learn & easy to follow:
With dozens of clinical studies to our name, our focus is on clinically effective and meaningful weight-loss results:
• People attending Weight Watchers meetings and using eTools lost 8x as much weight as those who tried to
lose weight on their own1
• After 48 weeks, 3x as many people randomized to attend Weight Watchers meetings lost 10% or more of their
body weight than those in a professionally delivered behavioral weight-loss program2
• Overweight and obese participants assigned to Weight Watchers lost more than 2x as much weight as those
who received standard primary care alone3
