International Weight Watchers has been around for many years and has proved itself to be an incredibly successful commercial diet program that centers on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

A wide range of different foods are given a points value and Weight Watchers members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that accompany not just this but any dieting program. Members can also get online support as well as online menus and calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which can be bought at a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allotted to various foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. Normally, foods which are high in fat have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on things like body weight and target weight.

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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are just some examples of the points assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
