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

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

Food is given a points value and members make use of a points calculator and simple to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Participants also attend local counseling sessions for both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that go along with any dieting plan. There is also online support together with online calculators and menus.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which you can buy through a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is given to a variety of foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. Normally, foods which are high in fat have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent upon things like his or her body weight and target weight.

The points formula is:

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 dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here we have given a few examples of the points scores given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
