Weight Watchers Family Power:
5 Simple Rules for a Healthy-Weight Home

Weight Watchers has been around for many years now and is a tremendously successful diet program that focuses on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food items are given a points score and members then use a points calculator and simple to follow recipes provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their local area for both advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that go along with not just this but any diet plan. Members also have access to online support as well as online menus and points calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that may be purchased at a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. As a general rule, 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 things like his or her body weight and target weight.

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

(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 figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.
