Editor's Verdict:

As one of the world's best known international weight loss companies, Weight Watchers has been helping people achieve their weight loss goals for over 40 years. Recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on weight loss, Weight Watchers International has helped millions of people worldwide to lose weight. In the UK alone over 6,000 Meetings are held each week by a Weight Watchers Leader who has also lost weight successfully with Weight Watchers. The revolutionary Weight Watchers diet gives all foods a POINTS® value - based on calories and saturated fat content, mitigated against the fiber value in each item - which means you can eat all of your favorite foods, just within the constraints of the Weight Watchers plan.

The Weight Watchers points allocation system is based on a complicated, patented formula which takes into account the calorie, fat and fiber content of each food, allocating every food (and every portion size) a points value. Users of the Weight Watchers plan are then allocated a specific points 'balance' for each day, which they can 'spend' based on the foods they eat in each day. As your points balance is allotted based on a number of factors ' including age, sex, height, weight etc. ' and changes over time to appreciate changes in your weight and your general motivation, all users follow a tailored diet plan, specific to their needs. Men are especially well catered for in the Weight Watchers plan, as the points system takes into account the differences in male metabolisms and makes changes to the diet plan accordingly.

Users of the Weight Watchers points system report that keeping track of your points consumption in a particular day is simple, especially with the help of a range of tools intended to make following the plan all the more straightforward. Users can use an innovative slide-ruler in order to calculate the number of points in particular foods, or alternatively use a great electronic calculator to find out how many points are in particular portion sizes of each food. Perhaps the most iconic accessory of the Weight Watchers diet is the points 'book' which details the points-value of more than 10,000 foods. All of these tools make the Weight Watchers diet particularly adaptable. Users can check out the points value of new foods in the supermarket or can work out which foods are best to eat when dining out or when eating with friends. The approach is excellent for fitting the Weight Watchers diet plan into your daily life, making the plan sustainable and effective in the long term.

WeightWatchers.com is intended to operate like an online Weight Watchers meeting ' supporting the dieter with a range of innovative features. Users can choose from more than 1500 online recipes and meal ideas (complete with a specific points score for each meal) and more than 60 workout demonstrations. Users can also assess their food and exercise habits by keeping an online log, and maintain a weight loss graph by recording their weigh-in details throughout their membership. In monitoring your weight, the site also generates personalized weight loss goals. Whilst there is a range of useful features, we felt the available support was slightly less comprehensive than those featured on other sites. The diet features on Diet.com and eDiets.com, for example, provides many more recipe ideas and meal plans than are featured on Weight Watchers. Similarly, other sites provide better fitness features (notably DeniseAustin.com and JillianMichaels.com), as Weight Watchers only features a range of workout videos and not a fitness builder or planner, for example.

WeightWatchers.com is one of the most established diet plans available on the market. Whilst many users prefer to follow the Weight Watchers plan using scheduled weekly meetings, the website does provide a range of supportive features that will guide you through the process of incorporating the Weight Watchers diet into your daily life. While the Weight Watchers plan is proven and successful, it is one of the more expensive plans we have reviewed (especially if you choose a shorter term plan). In order to see whether this plan is suited to you, check it out using the free e-newsletter service (which can be accessed from the Weight Watchers website).
