The Weightwatchers diet has been found to be twice as effective as standard diets .
Researchers discovered that more people adhered to the Weight Watchers diet and incurred greater weight loss and lost more fat mass than those who stuck to standard diets .
Susan Jebb from the UK's Medical Research Council Human Nutrition Research Unit, the study leader, found that the Weight Watchers programme is "a robust intervention that is generalizable to other economically developed countries."
The study was published yesterday in the British medical journal, Lancet.
The report follows a recent report which stated that obesity is a worldwide epidemic, one that is rapidly replacing tobacco as the main preventable cause of expensive chronic diseases, such as, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Worldwide there are 1.5 billion overweight adults and a further 0.5 billion obese adults, as well as170 million overweight or obese children.
