Weight Watchers has been about for a long time and has proved to be a hugely successful commercial diet program which revolves around balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Food is given a points value and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area for both advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any diet program. There is also online support together with online menus and points calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals that can be purchased at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is given to a variety of foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every 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 upon such things as body weight and target weight.

The formula for calculating a points value 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, but, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here you can see some examples of the points values assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
