Weight Watchers is more effective and cost savvy than NHS
weight loss programmes, research has shown.
It was revealed that experts thought it would be more
productive to encourage people to take classes run by commercial companies as
opposed to GP counselling.
Research showed dieters lost more weight and continued to
improve after joining gyms or dieting programmes rather than receiving
counselling. Significantly greater
weight loss was shown amongst participants who attended weightwatchers compared
to those in the NHS programme.
Taylor Hamilton, personal trainer at Christ Church Sports
Centre agreed that by eating a healthy balanced diet and exercising would prove
the most successful way of losing weight.
“If the government put their money and intentions into
Weight Watchers, people would be more inclined to go.
“It provides a group dynamic, they have set plans, meals and
ideals and will be able to feel more comfortable going to the gym and
exercising.”
