Weight Watchers Make It in Minutes:
Easy Recipes in 15, 20, and 30 Minutes

International Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time now and is a very successful diet program which centers on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Items of food are assigned a points value and members then use a points calculator and a wide range of recipes that are provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area to get advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which accompany any dieting program. Members can also get online support together with online points calculators and menus.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which may be purchased at a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is given to a variety of foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. Usually, high fat foods will have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on such things as his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

The formula used to calculate a points score is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(Please note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual figure is under 4 then this figure is used, but, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

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

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
