Best weight loss, diet center: Weight Watchers
Our readers recommended shedding the pounds with Weight Watchers, which has been around for 50 years, and was named the nation’s best weight-loss plan by U.S. News and World Report.
Weight Watchers meetings take place throughout the South Bay, and there’s a Weight Watchers store in Manhattan Beach.
Weight Watchers boasts that its sensible approach, which includes meeting support and reasonable, no-starvation eating, has allowed it to outlast hosts of fad diets and other programs that see people’s weight yo-yo up and down. When you start with a weight loss program, it doesn’t matter which one as long as it’s right for you and that you stick to it with dedication.
The new Weight Watchers “360” program stresses “real food,” steady support, improved food habits, protection from the modern world’s million “food cues,” and “a little” exercise.
Weight Watchers also has an online version, and a just-for-men version. -RF
