Re: WHICH DIET IS BETTER...AND WHY?
I've done both and have had much better sustained success with WW. I dropped weight on Southbeach fast but put it all back on, and more, when I stopped following their plan. What I like better about WW is it's more about a lifestyle change and attitude change towards food. Like anything, you have to combine exercise with your diet to get it to work best. As long as you commit to one of them, you'll drop the weight no problem!

Re: WHICH DIET IS BETTER...AND WHY?
I've always heard that WW is the best, because it really teaches you to think of food in terms of portions and to apply what you've learned to how you think about food for the rest of your life...it's not a 'diet' it's a lifestyle.

Re: WHICH DIET IS BETTER...AND WHY?
Well both diets work as long as you can stick to them. However I think weight watchers is easier to stick to in real life. They have 2 plans that you can choose from (Flex and Core). You also learn portion control with weight watchers and how to make better choices.
You should also include some sort of exercising with whatever you go with....JMO

WW is healthier and less restrictive. It allows you to eat foods from all the food groups. For the first two weeks of SB you can't have any fruit. Very binding with all those nuts and cheese.

I love WW because i feel u can eat whatever u want and you start to learn portion control. You don't have to cut out any food because you can eat anything you want in moderation. I tried to do South Beach for a little while but I couldn't handle giving up the foods I love. Good luck!

Re: WHICH DIET IS BETTER...AND WHY?
WW is so great! It really is a lifestyle. I've done it many times though - I'm just lazy and never stick with it. I have lost 20 pounds on it 2 different times. This time I am way too lazy and unmotivated (you'd think my wedding in 4 mos would motivate me but it's not) to plan out my meals and think of what to eat. I just need that all done for me so after seeing how successful my 2 sisters were on Jenny Craig (they both had baby weight to lose) I decided to give it a try. It's really easy and the food is delish. This is my 3rd week.....already down 7.8 pounds in the first 2 weeks. I'll see on Monday how I did with my 3rd week!
So if you're lazy like me - Jenny Craig is the way to go! Real easy just knowing what you have to eat and when! Once I lose what I want to on this....I will probably switch to WW to maintain....we'll see.
