Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook
bonus points weight watchers. Weight Watchers has been around for a great many years now and is a very successful diet program which focuses on a balance of low fat nutrition, counseling and exercise.
|
Food is allotted a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are also encouraged to drop in on counseling sessions held locally for ideas and advice and to assist with the lifestyle changes that naturally accompany any dieting program. There is also online support, along with online calculators, recipes and menus.
As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that may be purchased through many of the larger grocery chains.
A points value is assigned to foods based upon the quantity of fat, the number of calories, the size of the portion and the amount of fiber in each serving. In general, high fat means a high points value and high fiber means a low points value. The daily allowance for members is then dependent upon such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula used is:

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams
(Note: in the term (minr, 4) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber is used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual figure is less than 4 this is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are some examples of the points allotted to particular foods:
