Weight Watchers Simply the Best:
250 Prizewinning Family Recipes

Weight Watchers has been with us for many years now and is a fabulously successful commercial diet program which focuses on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food is allotted a points value and members use a points calculator and recipes that are provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally for ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes which accompany not just this but any diet program. Members can also get online support together with online menus and points calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which you can purchase at a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to a variety of foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every serving. Generally speaking, foods which are high in fat have a high points value and high fiber foods 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 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. So, if the actual figure is under 4 this figure is used, but, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you can see some examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
