I suppose for me, it was a bit of structure and having to go get weighed kept me focused, also for the first 4 weeks writing down everything you ate helped alot

Well that's the thing, it's a placebo really... if it works I suppose it doesn't matter, but people think it works miracles when, if you actually take a look at what has happened... it's as simple as that people are eating less overall, have cut out processed food, and are exercising more. Groups do help with focus though. It's just the "rules" that are daft... and I do take major issue with the things that they consider "free foods" as it heavily encourages people with previously unhealthy eating habits to still bulk out on empty carbs, and if you do that for more than a few months, you'll end up with vitamin A&C, iron, magnesium and potassium deficiencies. Too many people will skip green veg if they're being offered potatoes etc. as a "sin free" alternative.
