Weight Watchers Simply the Best:
250 Prizewinning Family Recipes

Weight Watchers has been with us for many years and is an incredibly successful commercial diet program which focuses on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

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

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their home area for ideas and advice and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which accompany not just this but any dieting program. There is also online support as well as online menus and calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals which can be purchased through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. Generally speaking, high fat foods have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters then depends on things like his or her body weight and target weight.

The points formula is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are some examples of the points scores assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
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
