Weight Watchers Family Power:
5 Simple Rules for a Healthy-Weight Home

International Weight Watchers has been with us for many years and has proved itself to be a tremendously successful diet program which focuses on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food items are allotted a points value and Weight Watchers members make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area to get advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which go along with not just this but any diet plan. There is also online support and online menus and calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which you can get through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. Generally speaking, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like body weight and target weight.

The formula for calculating a points value 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. Accordingly, if the actual figure is under 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

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

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
