International Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and has proved to be a tremendously successful diet program which centers on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

A wide range of different foods are assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally for both advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which go along with not just this but any diet program. Members also have access to online support and online points calculators and menus.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals that you can buy at a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allotted to foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. Generally, high fat foods will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on things like body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

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

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
