    Like ANY other diet, if one follows the protocols, they'll lose weight. And like any other diet program, 90% will revert to weight regain because practically all diets are unsustainable in the long term.

    Just in to say that all diets have one thing in common......................................calorie deficit. And you don't have to pay for that.

    Yeah, but that must be a fad diet...

    I am on the 3rd week of this diet. I love it. I needed, and paid, for something like this because if I do not have an exact plan in place I will stray. This diet tells me what to eat and when to eat. It is as simple as that. Is it a fad? Only if you allow to be one. I wanted a healthier lifestyle and this is helping me to obtain one. I firmly believe that after the 6 weeks are over that I will continue to eat this way (maybe not so many smoothies) and continue to regularly work out because I am developing healthy habits.

    Yes, this is true - however I can see how programs like Weight Watchers work for people - yes they work by creating a calorie deficit, I know that - but some people benefit from a structured program and from the support that comes from others, so going to meetings helps with motivation.

    I would not call WW a fad diet though - it does not tell you exactly what and when to eat and it has been around for many many years - by definition, a fad is something new and short lived.

    I'm not on WW myself but I can see the benefits of it - not sure why it gets such a bad rap on these forums.
