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

Weight Watchers has been about for many years and has proved to be a very successful commercial diet program that centers on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Items of food are allotted a points value and members then make use of a points calculator and simple to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions for both advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle that accompany not just this but any diet program. Members are also provided with online support as well as online menus and points calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals that may be purchased through a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to a variety of foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. Usually, high fat foods will have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

The points formula is as follows:

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. Accordingly, if the actual figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given some examples of the points assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
