WW (Weight Watchers)

WW, originally known as Weight Watchers, is one of the most well-known weight-loss programs in the world. Jean Nidetch created WW in her Queens, New York apartment in 1963. WW rapidly developed from its humble beginnings as a weekly weight-loss club for her friends to become one of the world's most popular diet programs.

WW is a point-based system that allocates a value to various meals and beverages based on their calorie, fat, and fiber levels. Even though there are no dietary restrictions, people on the WW plan must eat within their daily point limits in order to attain their desired weight. While healthy eating habits are recommended, members are free to eat anything they like as long as they keep under their daily SmartPoints allowance. If you want to lose weight slowly and steadily with food and lifestyle modifications, this diet is a wonderful option. The program has been proved in several studies to help people lose weight and keep it off. According to research published in The American Journal of Medicine, those who participated in WW lost more weight than those who tried to lose weight on their own.
