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

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

Food items are given a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling session in their local area to get advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle that go along with any diet program. Members are also provided with online support as well as online calculators and menus.

As well, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals which can be purchased at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. Generally, high fat foods have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on such things as body weight and target weight.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

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 lower than 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you will find some examples of the points values given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
