details of this Weight Watchers book:

International Weight Watchers has been about for a long time and is a hugely successful commercial diet program that concentrates on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Different foods are allotted a points value and members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling sessions locally to get both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that go along with not just this but any dieting program. Members are also provided with online support and online points calculators and menus.

In addition, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals which can be bought through a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to various foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. Generally speaking, high fat foods will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on 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}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

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

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
