Weight Watchers Make It in Minutes:
Easy Recipes in 15, 20, and 30 Minutes

International Weight Watchers has been around for many years now and has proved to be a tremendously successful commercial diet program that concentrates on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

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

Participants are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions for ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes that go along with not just this but any diet plan. Members are also provided with online support together with online calculators and menus.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be purchased through a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to various foods according to the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. Generally speaking, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent upon things like body weight and target weight.

The formula for calculating a points value is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. So, if the actual dietary figure is under 4 this figure is used, but, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here we have given a few examples of the points given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
