Weight Watchers has been around for many years now and is a tremendously successful commercial diet program which concentrates on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Food is allotted a points value and Weight Watchers members then use a points calculator and recipes provided by the program.

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

In addition, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be bought through a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allotted to foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends on things like body weight and target weight.

The formula used to calculate a points score is:

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. For example, if the actual figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.
