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

International Weight Watchers has been around for many years and has proved to be an incredibly successful diet program that concentrates on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Different foods are assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members use a points calculator and recipes which are provided by the program.

Members also attend local counseling sessions to get advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle that go along with not just this but any dieting plan. Members can also get online support and online menus and points calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals that can be bought through a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allocated to a variety of foods based upon the portion size, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. In general, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on such things as his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula used to calculate a points score 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 dietary figure is under 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just some examples of the points values assigned to particular 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
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
