Weight Watchers Simply the Best:
250 Prizewinning Family Recipes

International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and has proved itself to be a hugely successful commercial diet program which concentrates on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Items of food are given a points score and members then use a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling sessions locally for advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any diet program. There is also online support together with online menus and calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which may be purchased at a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allotted to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. Normally, foods which are high in fat will have a high points score and high fiber foods will have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters then depends on such things as his or her body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula used to calculate a points score is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

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

Below you can see some examples of the points scores given to particular 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
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
