Food items are assigned a points value and members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program. Members also attend counseling session in their local area for both advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle which accompany any diet program. Members also have access to online support as well as online points calculators and menus. Additionally, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which you can purchase at a number of the bigger grocery chains. A points value is allocated to foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving.
