Weight Watchers

http://www.weightwatchers.com/

Weight Watchers claims that it is a balanced plan that considers 4 aspects of healthy living: food, exercise, behavior, and support. It seems that the behavior and support aspects are mainly meant to be serviced via the weekly meetings. For the food portion, there are two main plains: Flex and Core.

Flex Plan: In the Flex Plan you continue to eat whatever you want within the day's POINT value. A POINT value is assigned to a food based on calories, fat, and fiber. Maximum daily POINT values are given to an individual based on age, weight, height, gender, etc. There are additional POINT values allocated to a special weekly splurge.

Core Plan: The Core Plan is more like a traditional diet in that you are restricted to certain kinds of foods. You are, however, given a weekly splurge POINT value to fill.
