NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) - a human-centric technology company powered by the world's leading commercial weight management program - has been recognized once again by health experts in the 2022 Best Diets rankings, released today by U.S. News & World Report. WW retained the #1 spot for both "Best Diet for Weight Loss" and "Best Diet Program" for the twelfth consecutive year since the rankings were first introduced in 2010. These rankings reflect decades of WW's scientific expertise and clinical evidence showcasing the program's effectiveness for sustainable weight loss and weight management.

WW also received high marks in the categories of "Best Diet Overall," "Easiest Diet to Follow," "Best Diet for Healthy Eating" and "Best Diet for Fast Weight Loss."

"This recognition is a testament of our unwavering focus on helping people develop healthy habits, rooted in science," said Gary Foster, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, WW. "As part of that commitment, our team is constantly advancing our clinical research and innovating our program based on consumer needs and the latest nutrition and behavior change science. That way, we can meet people where they are on their wellness journeys and provide science-based tools and techniques."

WW most recently launched its PersonalPoints™ weight-loss program in November 2021, the latest advancement in helping members integrate positive lifestyle changes into their everyday lives. The new program makes losing weight and reaching wellness goals simpler and more attainable, all while helping members continue to live their best, fullest lives. It delivers a trifecta of game-changing new elements that work together to yield weight and wellness benefits, including: individualized plans, custom-built for each member; WW's most advanced food algorithm to date; and the ability to add Points® for healthy behaviors such as eating non-starchy vegetables (like carrots, tomatoes, broccoli and spinach), reaching a daily water goal, and moving more. WW PersonalPoints has been proven to deliver clinically significant weight loss; decreases in hunger and food cravings; increases in physical activity and healthy habit formation; as well as improvements in overall well-being and quality of life.¹

"We are honored to retain this distinguished ranking for over a decade, as a proven leader in weight management," said Mindy Grossman, President and CEO at WW.  "As the world's partner in weight loss and wellness, we are constantly innovating on behalf of our members' needs to personalize the WW experience. This recognition further builds on the growing evidence that WW works: delivering solutions that fit members' lives and providing a livable path to sustainable weight management and healthy living."
