Food items are given a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are further encouraged to visit counseling sessions in their area for ideas and advice and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which naturally accompany any diet program. There is also online support, together with online menus, recipes and calculators.
As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals that may be purchased through many of the larger grocery stores.
The points value given to various different foods is based upon the amount of fiber, the quantity of fat, the number of calories and the size of the portion in each serving. As a rule, high fat means a high points value and high fiber means a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends 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. In other words, if the actual figure is less than 4 this is used, but, wherever the figure is larger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are just some examples of the points allotted to specific foods:
