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

International Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time now and has proved to be a fabulously successful diet program which focuses on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food items are allotted a points score and members then use a points calculator and a wide range of recipes provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling session in their home area for both ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes which go along with any diet program. Members also have access to online support and online points calculators and menus.

Additionally, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals which you can purchase at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to various foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. Generally speaking, high fat foods will have a high points score and high fiber foods will have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent on things like body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

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}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For example, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given a few examples of the points assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
