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 hugely successful commercial diet program which focuses on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

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

Members also attend counseling session in their local area to get ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes which accompany not just this but any dieting plan. Members can also get online support and online menus and points calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which you can purchase at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to various foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every serving. Usually, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent 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

(Please note: in 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 less than 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given a few examples of the points given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
