In 2000, the American Journal of Medicine published a study that found Weight Watchers effective. Research showed that participating in the Weight Watchers program yields better results than going it alone. The study followed 65 men and 358 women for two years as they tried to lose weight with either a self-help program or the Weight Watchers program.

The Self-Help Program

Members of the self-help group met with a nutritionist in the first and 12th weeks. During counseling sessions, they received hard copies of information about healthy diet and exercise habits. In addition, self-helpers were told about other sources of weight-loss advice such as library materials, Web sites and phone hotlines. Once they were given the information, though, they were on their own to put it to use.

If you’ve already reached your weight loss goal, you might be thinking that you can take it easy for a while. However, when you’re on your own, you might find yourself gaining back the pounds that you worked so hard to lose.

Support groups have been proven to help dieters keep the weight off, but many people think that they’re only for people who still have pounds to lose. Weight Watchers, one of the most popular dieting support groups, has been clinically proven to be effective.

Weight Watchers offers two ways for its members to support one another: online chats and face-to-face meetings. The online and real-world programs are as similar as possible, but is there a difference in how well they work?

A 2006 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine compared in-person and online weight management programs to see which was more effective in helping members avoid regaining lost weight.

Nisha's Story

Nisha started off as a chubby child. At first, it didn’t bother her. But as she grew up she didn’t like being fat.

The turning point in her life came one day when her family had a big gathering. Among the many friends and relatives that attended this reunion were a bunch of slim and beautiful girls.

Are you trying to lose weight? Do you need a natural way to aid in your weight loss needs? Research has shown that having a good night sleep helps people who try to lose weight. This mechanism is tied with the interplay of hormones during sleep, which are also connected to appetite.

When we sleep, there is regulation of leptin and ghrelin, which are hormones that are also responsible for appetite. When times that we were not able to sleep at night, we usually have increased food intake, which does not seem to satisfy us or make us full. In this line, it becomes difficult to lose weight especially when a good night sleep is always very rare.

Leptin and ghrelin are two important hormones that regulate the feeling of fullness and hunger. Ghrelin stimulates the appetite, and is produced in the gastrointestinal tract. On the other hand, leptin is produced by the fat cells and is the one responsible for feelings of fullness because it signals the brain when you are full.
