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

International Weight Watchers has been around for many years now and has proved to be a very successful commercial diet program that centers on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

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

Members also attend local counseling sessions for ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes that go along with any diet program. Members can also get online support as well as online calculators and menus.

Additionally, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be bought through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned 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, 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 the desired weight loss.

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: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual dietary figure is under 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just some examples of the points assigned to particular foods:

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