Best Diet Biography
If you have resolved to lose weight after Christmas, read on.
An NHS study found that men and women who attended Weight Watchers classes shed more weight than those who went to other slimming clubs.
Weight Watchers also offered the best value for money, the Journal of Public Health reports.
The study was carried out by the NHS in North Somerset to determine to which slimming group its GPs should refer overweight and obese patients.
More than half of primary care trusts in England pay for patients to attend commercial organisations but there has been a lack of information about which works best.
The researchers analysed data on 880 overweight and obese men and women who went along to one of three popular diet groups – Weight Watchers, Slimming World and Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Clubs.
After 12 weekly sessions, the Weight Watchers members had lost almost 12lb, on average.
This is significantly more than the 9.3lb shed by the average person attending Slimming World classes, and marginally more than the 11lb lost by those who went to Rosemary Conley’s classes for three months.
