Join Weight Watchers


International Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and has proved itself to be a hugely successful diet program that revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food items are given a points value and members use a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area to get ideas and advice and to assist with the changes in lifestyle that go along with any diet plan. Members also have access to online support together with online calculators and menus.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which can be bought through many of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. As a general rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on such things as body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula used to calculate a points score is:

weight watchers formula

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

(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 under 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just a few examples of the points assigned to particular foods:
