Weight Watchers has been around for many years and is an incredibly successful diet program that revolves around balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are given a points value and members then make use of a points calculator and recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling sessions locally to get advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any dieting plan. Members also have access to online support together with online menus and points calculators.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals which may be purchased at a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allocated to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity 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 then depends upon such things as his or her body weight and target weight.

The points formula is as follows:

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Please note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual figure is under 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here are a few examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
