nutri system vs weight watchers diets. Weight Watchers has been with us for a great many years now and is a hugely successful diet program that focuses on a balance of counseling, low fat nutrition and exercise.
|
Different foods are assigned a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are also encouraged to go to local counseling sessions for ideas and advice and to assist with the lifestyle changes which accompany any dieting program. Support is also provided online, in addition to online recipes, calculators and menus.
As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be bought through various larger grocery chains.
The points value assigned to foods is based upon the quantity of fat, the number of calories, the size of the portion and the amount of fiber in each serving. In the main, high fat means a high points value and high fiber means a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula is as follows:

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams
(Note: in the term (minr, 4) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber is used in the calculation. This means that, if the actual figure is less than 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is larger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are some examples of the points given to specific foods:
