Food is given a points value and members use a points "calculator" and recipes provided by the program.
Members are also encouraged to go to counseling sessions in their area for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes which are part of any dieting program. Online help is also provided, along with online recipes, menus and calculators.
Furthermore, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that can be bought at many of the larger grocery chains.
The points value assigned to foods is calculated from the quantity of fat, the size of the portion, the number of calories and the amount of fiber in each serving. In general, 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 things like 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, but, in cases where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are various examples of the points given to particular foods:
