THE MOMENTUM PLAN IS BUILT ON A FOUR-WAY APPROACH

Weight Watchers is committed to providing a comprehensive approach to weight loss that is based on the latest scientific thinking. All too often in weight loss, a program or product is developed and then individual studies that support the program are provided to "justify" its existence. The Weight Watchers approach comes out of the science, not the other way around. There are four principles from which Weight Watchers will not waiver.

Weight-loss success depends on finding a method that fits within one's lifestyle and preferences. The Weight Watchers® food plans are designed to make this happen.

There's no secret to how weight loss works.
Rigorous scientific studies have shown, time and time again, that in order to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you take in. It's called the “law of thermodynamics,” and it's the only proven method for successful weight loss: eat fewer calories and exercise more—and keep at it until you reach your goal.

Yet, only one-third of adults who are trying to lose weight are doing so with these fundamentals in mind. And the people who do follow these fundamentals often stop before they get to their goals.

The Momentum program is designed to teach Weight Watchers members the fundamentals of weight loss and help them to stick with their weight-loss efforts, all the way to their goal.

Our four-way approach is to Eat Smarter, Move More, Build Helpful Habits and a Attend Meetings.
