It was right on the money. I've lost 38 pounds (so far) on Weight Watchers over the past 6 months; your quiz nailed the two things that seem to be making a difference for me: I thrive on structure and the emotional support of a group. I just e-mailed the quiz to two friends from Oprah's website. Thanks so much for this very useful information. I read and took the quiz from the O magazine. It was right on the money.

The one diet that has worked for me, Weight Watchers (lost 50 pounds at the peak, now holding at about 44 pounds down after 5 years), is only in one of your groups of eating approaches, and it's a lower-scoring one for me--WW is classed as "best" only for those who like Support Groups. For my single personal data point, that's a really limited view of WW....and that makes me doubt the analysis for the other diets. One other bit of feedback: I see a lot of overlap in the characteristics that put someone in the "Restrictive" and "Program based" approaches--this might just be a problem with how they are described, as I do see that the 2 groups of diets are distinct (having tried 3 or 4 of 'em...).
