Honest Weigh exists to help readers compare weight loss programs without the hype. This page explains how we research, how we compare, and how we fix mistakes.
How we research
- Primary sources first. Prices, plan features, and program terms come from the companies’ own official websites, pricing pages, and terms documents — checked by hand, not scraped blindly.
- Real research, plain language. When we talk about what works, we look at peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews, and guidance from recognized health authorities — and we link to our sources so you can check them yourself.
- No miracle claims. We do not publish before-and-after promises, “one weird trick” stories, or unqualified guarantees. If the evidence is mixed or weak, we say so.
How comparisons are made
- Sourced prices. Every price we publish is tied to a source and a check date. Because companies change prices often, we show when each figure was last verified.
- Like-for-like. We compare programs on the same dimensions: monthly cost, what’s included, contract terms, support offered, and flexibility — so you can see real differences, not marketing gloss.
- No paid placement. Companies cannot pay to be ranked higher, featured more prominently, or reviewed more favorably. Rankings and recommendations reflect our independent assessment only.
How we handle money and conflicts
If Honest Weigh ever earns affiliate commissions or advertising revenue, it will be disclosed clearly on the relevant pages, and it will never influence our comparisons or conclusions. At present, our comparisons are produced independently of any commercial relationship with the programs we cover.
Update cadence
We review and re-verify prices and program details on a regular cycle, and sooner when we become aware of significant changes. Each comparison shows the date it was last checked — treat anything older than a few months as a starting point, not a quote.
Corrections
We get things wrong sometimes, and we’d rather fix it than hide it:
- If you spot an error — a wrong price, an outdated plan detail, a broken source link — tell us via the contact form.
- We investigate every report, correct verified errors promptly, and note significant corrections on the article itself.
- We do not silently rewrite conclusions; material changes are disclosed.
What we won’t publish
- Paid reviews presented as independent.
- Health claims we cannot source.
- Content designed to scare readers into buying something.
