Study: Weight Watchers Better Than Doctors' Advice

Sept. 7, 2011 -- Overweight and obese patients referred to Weight Watchers lost twice as much weight as those treated by their doctors in the U.K., Australia, and Germany.

The study was funded by Weight Watchers but run by independent researchers led by Susan A. Jebb, PhD, of the U.K. Medical Research Council.

The study enrolled 772 overweight or moderately obese adults. They were randomly assigned to two groups. Half got their nation's standard-of-care weight loss advice from their primary care provider. The other half were sent to Weight Watchers. Neither group had to pay for their treatment.

Weight loss studies are notorious for the number of people who drop out before the study is over. Usually, this is because people fail to lose weight and give up. In the current study 61% of those assigned to Weight Watchers completed 12 months of the program. So did 54% of those assigned to standard care.

What happened? Weight Watchers won:

Among patients who completed the year-long program, those in Weight Watchers lost nearly 15 pounds -- about 7 pounds more than those who completed a year of standard care. Those who completed a year of the Weight Watchers program were three times as likely to lose 5% of their body weight -- and 3.5 times more likely to lose 10% -- than those who completed a year of standard care. Among all patients measured from the time they started until the time they dropped out or finished the program, those assigned to Weight Watchers lost about 9 pounds -- about 5 pounds more than those assigned to standard care. They were three times more likely to lose 5% or 10% of their body weight.
