details of this Weight Watchers book:

International Weight Watchers has been with us for many years and has proved to be an incredibly successful diet program that centers on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Items of food are given a points value and members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling session in their local area to get advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that go along with any diet program. Members can also get online support and online menus and points calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that you can purchase through a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is allocated to various foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends upon things like his or her body weight and target weight.

The points formula 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}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual dietary figure is under 4 this figure is used, however, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here you will find a few examples of the points assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
