Our Review Process

Here at Top Weight Loss, our mission is simple: To empower consumers to find the best weight loss program for them by providing comprehensive and honest reviews of all the top options.

Every review we write is rooted in science and based on the latest guidance from top nutrition and weight loss experts. All research is conducted by a team of professional writers who dive deep into the details that matter most to consumers about weight loss programs—like the food taste, variety and portions, plus the nutrition, pricing and of course, the effectiveness.

Integrity is at the core of what we do—our team is committed to taking a transparent and unbiased approach in everything we do. And, because we know that the only way to be 100 percent accurate in our depiction of each weight loss program is to try out the products ourselves, our team has personally tested each one.

Here’s a closer look at how our review process works:

  1. We establish a set of criteria that we use when evaluating every weight loss program. These standards are based on credible scientific studies and the latest nutrition guidance.
  2. Once we’ve compiled our criteria, our expert team begins the evaluation process, assessing how each brand’s weight loss program stacks up.
  3. Once the evaluation process is complete, the editorial team begins writing each comprehensive review, including pros and cons lists, brand comparisons, pricing information and more.

Before we even look at diet brands and weight loss plans, we do a deep dive into the science. We review research studies and guidance from experts on the most (and least) effective strategies for weight loss. This gives us a solid frame of reference as we assess each diet program.

We don’t just take a brand’s word for it—we personally test out each weight loss program, paying close attention to the variety, taste and portions of the food, the shipping process, the level of support available and of course, how sustainable and effective the approach is.
