Weight Watchers has been about for a long time and is a hugely successful commercial diet program that revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food items are assigned a points score and members then use a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their home area to get ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany not just this but any diet plan. Members are also provided with online support together with online menus and points calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which you can buy through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is given to foods according to the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat 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 his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

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

(Please note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual figure is under 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just some examples of the points given to certain foods:
