Weight Watchers Make It in Minutes:
Easy Recipes in 15, 20, and 30 Minutes

Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and is a hugely successful diet program which concentrates on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Different foods are assigned a points score and Weight Watchers members then use a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally for both ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes which go along with not just this but any dieting plan. There is also online support together with online menus and calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals that may be purchased through a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is given to various foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. As a general rule, high fat foods will have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, but, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are some examples of the points assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
