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

International Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time and has proved itself to be a tremendously successful diet program that concentrates on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Food is allotted a points value and members then make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes which are provided by the program.

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

To further help participants, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals that you can buy at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to various foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. As a general rule, high fat foods have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon such things as body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The points formula is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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 under 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here you can see a few examples of the points scores assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
