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

Weight Watchers has been around for a long time now and has proved to be a tremendously successful diet program which revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

A wide range of different foods are assigned a points value and members then use a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes provided by the program.

Members also attend local counseling sessions for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes which accompany not just this but any dieting plan. There is also online support together with online menus and points calculators.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals that you can get through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to various foods based upon the portion size, 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 value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends on such things as his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

The points formula is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Please note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Below are a few examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
