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

Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and has proved itself to be a fabulously successful diet program that centers on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food items are assigned a points value and members then make use of a points calculator and simple to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

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

To further help participants, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that you can buy at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is allotted to a variety of foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every serving. Normally, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends upon 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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual dietary figure is under 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

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