details of this Weight Watchers book:

International Weight Watchers has been around for many years now and is an incredibly successful commercial diet program that focuses on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food items are assigned a points value and members make use of a points calculator and recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling sessions locally for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that accompany any dieting program. Members are also provided with online support together with online calculators and menus.

As well, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that you can get through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allocated to various foods according to the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The points formula is:

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. So, if the actual figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are a few examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
