| U.S. News & World Report Rankings* | #1 Best Diet for Weight Loss | #10 Best Diet for Weight Loss (tie) |
| Food Choices | Everything’s on the menu! Our proven SmartPoints® system incorporates the latest in nutrition and behavior change science, and you're given a personalized SmartPoints Budget to use how you like, eat what you love, and still reach your weight-loss goals. We include hundreds of ZeroPoint foods, a weekly Budget of SmartPoints and rollovers for extra flexibility. This all helps guide you in making healthier food choices no matter where life takes you, in restaurants, at office functions, or while socializing with friends. By learning about a healthier pattern of eating, you can share delicious and nutritious meals with loved ones, and choose wisely when the menu isn't under your control. | Eat pre-packaged frozen foods you must choose online. While receiving single portions of frozen or pre-packaged breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks can help you learn portion control and lose weight initially, it is not necessarily sustainable or long-term solution to eat food from one source for the rest of your life. |

Besides giving you total flexibility in your food choices, WW also helps you fit more movement that you'll love into your life, and teaches you habits that will shift your mindset along the journey. When you start myWW, you immediately unlock our science-backed personal assessment. It considers your weight goals, preferences, and current lifestyle to match you with a food plan that will work seamlessly in to how you live, so you can spend on groceries (or meals out!) how you choose. This customization is included with all levels of WW membership, and you get so much more expert support beyond a food program, with activity and mindset incorporated so you can lead a healthier, happier life. |
