The diet season is in high gear. So, the airwaves are filled with diet programs and products proclaiming that they’re the best solution for you. One of the commercials in heavy rotation right now comes from\u00a0Weight Watchers<\/a>.\u00a0“Stop dieting, start living” is the commercial’s slogan. It cautions viewers about all the crazy schemes to help you lose weight, pleading with you to stop dieting.

Most likely it’s how they structure their point system and in-person meetings. As in most dieting, Weight Watchers has generally been a lady’s destination.
