Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and has proved itself to be a very successful commercial diet program which focuses on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Food is allotted a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and simple to follow recipes provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions for ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any dieting plan. Members are also provided with online support and online calculators and menus.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals that you can buy at many of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to various foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. Usually, foods which are high in fat will have a high points score and high fiber foods will have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on things like 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. That means that, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here we have given a few examples of the points values assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
