free weight watchers points plan info. Weight Watchers has been with us for a considerable time now and is an extremely successful diet program that focuses on a balance of exercise, counseling and low fat nutrition.
|
Food is allotted a points value and members use a points "calculator" and recipes provided by the program.
Members are also encouraged to go to counseling sessions held locally for advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which are inevitably associated with any diet program. There is also online support, together with online menus, calculators and recipes.
As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers create their own line of meals that may be purchased through a variety of larger grocery chains.
The points value assigned to foods is based upon the size of the portion, the amount of fiber, the number of calories and the quantity of fat in each serving. In general, high fat equals high points and high fiber equals low points. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula is as follows:
Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams
(Note: in the term (minr, 4) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber is used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this is used, but, when the figure is bigger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are a variety of examples of the points given to particular foods:
