International Weight Watchers has been around for many years and is a hugely successful diet program that centers on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

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

Members also attend counseling sessions locally for both advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any diet program. Members can also get online support as well as online menus and points calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which you can purchase at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is given to a variety of foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every serving. As a rule, high fat foods have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent 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

(Please note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 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, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here you can see a few examples of the points values assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
