International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time now and has proved to be a fabulously successful commercial diet program which centers on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Food items are assigned a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling session in their home area for both advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which go along with not just this but any dieting program. There is also online support together with online menus and calculators.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals which you can purchase through a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allotted to a variety of foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent on things like his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

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. That means that, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are a few examples of the points scores given to certain foods:

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