Choosing a Safe and Successful Weight-Loss Program

http://win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/choosing.htm

Today's site, from the U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), provides advice on how to
select the best approach from among the bewildering array of
popular diet programs. For readers still sitting on the
weight-loss fence, this presentation may serve up just the
criteria they need to decide on a program. 

"Choosing a weight-loss program may be a difficult task. You may
not know what to look for in a weight-loss program or what
questions to ask. This fact sheet can help you make an informed
decision about joining a program."  - from the website

The web page presents the essential elements which should be part
of any diet plan, along with specific questions to winnow through
the host of commercial programs available. These include staff
qualifications, any risks associated with the program, whether
medical oversight is provided, the costs involved and the typical
results, among others. Additional resources on the topic are also
supplied.
