old weight watchers programs. Weight Watchers has been with us for a great many years now and is an incredibly successful diet program which focuses on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Different foods are assigned a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.

Members are further encouraged to visit counseling sessions in their area for advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle that are inevitably associated with any dieting program. There is also online support, along with online calculators, menus and recipes.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own assortment of meals which can be purchased at various larger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to foods calculated from the number of calories, the quantity of fat, the size of the portion and the amount of fiber in each serving. In the main, foods that are high in fat have a high points value and foods that are high in fiber have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like body weight and the desired weight loss.

The points formula is:

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 is used, however, whenever the figure is larger than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are several examples of the points given to specific foods:
