Cards About Weight Watchers

International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and is a fabulously successful diet program that focuses on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food is assigned a points score and Weight Watchers members use a points calculator and simple to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling session in their home area to get advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes that accompany not just this but any diet program. Members are also provided with online support as well as online points calculators and menus.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals which you can purchase at a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is given to foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. As a rule, high fat foods will have a high points score and high fiber foods will have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent on such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

weight watchers formula

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For instance, if the actual figure is under 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here you can see some examples of the points values given to particular foods:
