Food items are given a points value and members use a points "calculator" and recipes provided by the program.
Members are further encouraged to attend counseling sessions in their area for advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle that are inevitably associated with any diet program. Online support is also available, in addition to online recipes, menus and calculators.
Additionally, Weight Watchers produce their own assortment of meals that can be purchased in a variety of larger grocery stores.
The points value given to various different foods is calculated from the amount of fiber, the quantity of fat, the number of calories and the size of the portion in each serving. In the main, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula looks like this:
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. This means that, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, however, whenever the figure is bigger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are just a few examples of the points assigned to particular foods:
