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

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

Participants also attend counseling session in their home area for both ideas and advice and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which go along with not just this but any dieting plan. Members also have access to online support together with online menus and points calculators.

In addition, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be bought through a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to various foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat 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 his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. So, if the actual figure is under 4 this figure is used, however, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you will find some examples of the points given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
