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

International Weight Watchers has been with us for many years and is an incredibly successful commercial diet program that centers on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are assigned a points value and members then use a points calculator and simple to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling sessions locally for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that go along with any diet plan. Members also have access to online support together with online menus and points calculators.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals that can be purchased through many of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. In general, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon such things as body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula used to calculate a points score is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. So, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, however, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just some examples of the points assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
