Weight watchers works. But as with anything else you have to follow it in order to see the results. It is widely quoted as being the most successfull program there is. And by all means it works for men. In fact we all complain about how much faster the men lose weight. It is nice to have the guess work taken out of the process as well. None of this "am I eating enough? too much? am I getting enough exercise?" It gives you guidlines for all this.
