Thanks for your comment! There have been studies on Weight Watchers members, however the proof is in the pudding. I wasn’t speaking of diets in general.

My $27/month program is far from costly. The value I add to my members is in the thousands and I should be charging at least $97.

It comes down to what you value. I speak to women who are in pain because of their weight and yet they would rather do a program like WW because they saw someone lose weight fast, instead of pay $1/day to learn how to be healthy for life.

Oh well, I’m waiting for my 1st million! 😉

I think this article makes some interesting points. However, your weight loss program is also based on making millions for you! I have checked out your program before and it is costly. Your online $27 a month is even more expensive than WW’s online program. I would tend to believe the article if it were written based on solid evidence and research and not just your personal opinion. Your opinion as someone who is competing for the millions of dollars from obese people is extremely biased. Do you have solid scientific research that shows the participants in your program maintain the loss over the long term, 5, 10, 20 years from now?

Oprah might well eat bread every day..wheat-free bread or Banting Bread (check internet for recipe)y ..made with almond and cocnut flour, and seeds.
Or she eats 1/2 a slice of the healthier type..remember she has a chef at home and makes her the ‘right food’..weighed!
Otherwise, I agree – diets do not work!
We want to eat sustainable food which is good fo us..once we cut out carbs and our body adjusts – we don’t want or crave any.
Yeah..its like a Pyramid scheme..we all climb our own pyramid together .regularly .competing with each other and showing off to see how we’ve managed to climb the highest!
Tsss…
Its a bit ot a let-down from Oprah! Its guaranteed that she understands the whole carb-issue..she knows.
This is a money-thing …and she’s conned the issue with a manipulative Tweet for her gain! I’m disappointed – she has sunk and lost integrity!!

Hi Nick, I am from South Africa and had to watch my weight all through my life and no diet ever escaped me, only Weight watchers as I felt that the excess fat on my body was there because I put too much stuff into my mouth. I don’t have to pay to loose it, I can actually Save a Lot by just eating less!!
November I found 5:2 Fast diet and remmbered that during my twenties, my sister and I was very successful with Fasting for a couple of days a week and I tried this 5:2 and as I had to loose 9KG which I gained when I stopped smoking end 2014, I don’t have to count calories, but it is a way to help me restructuring and reordering myself to help myself not to over indulge, and today I am a half a Kilo away from my Goalweight and so I have lost 8 and a half Kilo since 1 Nov 2015.
It went slow but I believe that is the best.

As a nutrition coach (mostly female clients) I have heard this statement more times then any other “I lost weight with weight watchers once.” Honestly I have never met one person that has had a sucessful long term weight loss credit weight watchers….not one. In simple terms, no one recovers from a drug addiction by monitoring the amount of drugs they use. “I can shoot meth, but only a little bit every day.” It doesn’t work that way. Thank you for saying what has been on every whole food eating person’s mind that has seen this commercial. Like you, I try not to bash other programs or plans but, this one hurts me for every client I have ever helped through Auto Immune, Gluten issues or, breaking the addiction to refined carbs.
