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

Food items are allotted a points score and members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend local counseling sessions to get both ideas and advice and to assist with the changes in lifestyle that accompany not just this but any dieting program. There is also online support together with online calculators and menus.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals that can be bought through many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. Normally, high fat foods will have a high points score and high fiber foods will have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters then depends on things like body weight and the desired weight loss.

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: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just a few examples of the points scores assigned to certain 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
