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

Weight Watchers has been about for many years now and is a very successful diet program which centers on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food items are allotted a points value and members then use a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their local area to get both advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes which go along with any diet plan. Members also have access to online support and online menus and calculators.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals which can be bought through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. Normally, high fat foods will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent upon such things as his or her body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

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. That means that, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

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

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
