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

International Weight Watchers has been with us for many years now and has proved itself to be a tremendously successful commercial diet program that revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food is assigned a points score and Weight Watchers members use a points calculator and a wide range of recipes provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their local area to get both advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that accompany any dieting program. Members are also provided with online support and online menus and points calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which you can get at a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allotted to a variety of foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every serving. Generally, 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 is then dependent on such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.

The points formula is:

weight watchers formula

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Please note: in the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. So, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given a few examples of the points scores given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
