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

Weight Watchers has been around for many years and has proved to be a fabulously successful commercial diet program which concentrates on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food is assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and simple to follow recipes provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their local area for ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes which go along with any diet program. Members are also provided with online support together with online menus and points calculators.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals which you can buy through many of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is allotted to foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters 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 as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(Please note: in 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, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here are a few examples of the points values assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
