International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and has proved to be a hugely successful commercial diet program that revolves around balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Food items are allotted a points value and members use a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes that are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area to get both advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle that go along with any dieting plan. Members are also provided with online support together with online menus and calculators.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that you can purchase at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allotted to foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent on things like body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

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: in the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, but, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just a few examples of the points scores assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
