International Weight Watchers has been about for many years now and is an incredibly successful diet program which concentrates on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Food items are allotted a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their home area to get both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any dieting plan. Members also have access to online support together with online calculators and menus.

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

A points score is assigned to foods based upon the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. Usually, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on things like his or her body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula used to calculate a points score is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(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 lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are just a few examples of the points scores given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
