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

International Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time now and is a very successful diet program that revolves around balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are given a points score and Weight Watchers members then use a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally for both ideas and advice and to assist with the changes in lifestyle that accompany not just this but any dieting program. There is also online support and online points calculators and menus.

In addition, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which you can purchase at many of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. As a general 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 then depends on such things as his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

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}) a maximum of 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, however, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just a few examples of the points assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
