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

Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time now and has proved to be a hugely successful commercial diet program which focuses on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Food is assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes 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 accompany not just this but any diet plan. Members can also get online support and online menus and points calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which can be purchased through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. Usually, high fat foods have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends upon things like his or her body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula for calculating a points value 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. So, if the actual dietary figure is under 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are a few examples of the points given 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
