Weight Watchers Plan
International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and has proved to be a fabulously successful commercial diet program which revolves around balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.
Food items are assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program. Members also attend counseling sessions locally for both ideas and advice and to assist with the lifestyle changes which go along with any diet plan. Members can also get online support together with online menus and points calculators.
To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which you can purchase at a number of the larger grocery chains.
A points value is allocated to a variety of foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon such things as his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.
The formula used to calculate a points score is as follows:
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. For example, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.
Here you will find some examples of the points scores given to particular foods:
| Food | Calories | Fat (g) | Carbohydrates | Fiber | Points |
Low-fat brownie
sundae | 326 | 3.2 | 72 | 4.6 | 6 |
| Corn on the cob | 140 | 2 | 34 | 2 | 3 |
Low-fat grilled
chicken pasta | 873 | 8.9 | 134.3 | 10.3 | 17 |
| Medium Fries | 450 | 22 | 57 | 5 | 10 |
