An effective way to eat healthy

Scientific studies have found that internet weight loss services are as effective as traditional meetings. A study published last year found that people following an internet-based weight maintenance programme showed weight loss equivalent to those people who continued to attend face-to-face meetings (Obesity Research, 2004; 12:320-329).

A further study (JAMA, 2001; 285:1172-1177) found that people who had received a structured weight loss programme through the internet achieved a 5% reduction in weight over a six month period. The programme included email newsletters, a discussion forum and individualised email feedback from a trained therapist, a model very similar to the UK Diet Club programme.
