Weight Watchers Take-Out Tonight! :
150+ Restaurant Favorites to Make at Home--All 8 POINTS or Less

International Weight Watchers has been about for many years and has proved to be a hugely successful diet program which concentrates on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Items of food are given a points value and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and recipes which are provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions to get both advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which accompany not just this but any diet plan. Members are also provided with online support together with online menus and calculators.

In addition, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which may be purchased through a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to various foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. Usually, foods which are high in fat have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on things like body weight and target weight.

The points formula 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. So, if the actual figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you can see some examples of the points values given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
