Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and has proved to be a fabulously successful diet program that concentrates on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Different foods are allotted a points value and members then use a points calculator and a wide range of recipes which are provided by the program.

Members also attend local counseling sessions to get both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that go along with not just this but any diet plan. Members are also provided with online support together with online menus and points calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals which you can buy at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is given to a variety of foods based upon the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. In general, high fat foods will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends 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

(Please note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For example, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here you can see some examples of the points values given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
