Weight Watchers has been with us for many years and has proved to be a fabulously successful diet program that focuses on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Food items are assigned a points score and Weight Watchers members make use of a points calculator and recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their home area to get both advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle that go along with not just this but any dieting plan. There is also online support and online menus and calculators.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that may be purchased through a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to foods according to the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. Generally, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent on such things as body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula for calculating a points value 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. Accordingly, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are a few examples of the points given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
