Purpose: A systematic review to provide clinicians and insurers withempirically-based recommendations for commercial orproprietary weight-loss programs Study selection: RCTs 12 weeks duration Prospective case studies 12 months Findings: Identified 141 existing commercial and proprietary weight-lossprograms7

6 programs that meet USPSTF criteria: Conclusions Lead Market Share Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig consistently have greater weight losses thancontrol/education participants and sustain it beyond 12 months. Nutrisystemshows promise, but has no long term results Low risk for adverse events Very-Low Calorie diets HMR, Medifast, and OPTIFAST results in short-term weight losses superior tocontrol. Unclear if they result in long-term, sustained weight loss Risk for gallstone, VLCD should only be used in limited circumstances underclose medical supervision within a high-intensity lifestyle intervention“ Clinicians might consider prioritizing referralonly for those commercial programs that havea substantial body of evidence showing aconsistent, long-term effect.”Gudzune KA et al. Annals Intern Med. 2015.10

SmartPoints The SmartPoints formula focuses onthe most important nutrients thatconsumers look for and currentscience backs:15 SmartPoints Calories establish the baseline of howmany SmartPoints the food will beworth Sugar and Saturated Fat increase theSmartPoints value. Protein decreases the SmartPointsvalue. Foods like zero-Point fruits havenaturally occurring sugar and contributehealthful nutrients like fiber, vitaminsand minerals18

Everything is still on the menu with SmartPoints19

Daily and Weekly Point allocationThe Mifflin-St Jeor equation provides a more accurate estimate of the RestingMetabolic Rate, which more reliably predicts the calorie requirements of people withoverweight and obesity.The number of Weekly SmartPoints is personalized according to an optimized energydeficit to ensure improved weight loss for members with varied metabolic rates.Weekly SmartPoints are 14, 21, 28, 35 or 42.20
