Weight Watchers Family Power:
5 Simple Rules for a Healthy-Weight Home

Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and has proved to be a tremendously successful diet program that centers on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Different foods are assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes that are provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that accompany any dieting plan. Members can also get online support and online menus and calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that you can buy through a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is given to various foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. In general, high fat foods will have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends upon things like his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

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 figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are some examples of the points scores assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
