International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and has proved to be a hugely successful diet program which focuses on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Food is assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and recipes provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions for ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle which accompany not just this but any diet plan. Members can also get online support as well as online calculators and menus.

Additionally, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that you can get through many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is given to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. Generally, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent upon such things as his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

The formula used to calculate a points score 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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For instance, if the actual figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given some examples of the points scores assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
