details of this Weight Watchers book:

International Weight Watchers has been with us for many years now and has proved itself to be a fabulously successful diet program that concentrates on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are allotted a points value and members make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area to get advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes that go along with not just this but any dieting plan. Members can also get online support as well as online menus and points calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals which can be bought at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is given to various foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. Usually, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent upon things like body weight and the desired weight loss.

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. 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.

Below we have given some examples of the points assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
