Weight Watchers has been around for a long time now and has proved itself to be an incredibly successful diet program which centers on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Food is allotted a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling session in their home area to get both advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which go along with any diet program. Members also have access to online support and online calculators and menus.

As well, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which you can buy through many of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to various foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. In general, high fat foods will have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on such things as body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

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. So, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

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

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
