They all basically do the same thing - educate people about healthy eating and lifestyle but dress it up like it's something new, different, unique (and often expensive). If you are well-informed about these things you should not need to go and be patronised by a smug size 8, formerly size 20 airhead (well that was my experience with Weight Watchers). HOWEVER, I think WW works for people who are motivated by the 'competitive' element of turning up each week to compare how much they have lost with the others in the group.
