Weight Watchers Simply the Best:
250 Prizewinning Family Recipes

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

Food items are assigned a points score and Weight Watchers members then use a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their home area for both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle which accompany not just this but any dieting plan. Members also have access to online support together with online menus and calculators.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that you can purchase at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. As a general rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent upon things like his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

The formula for calculating a points value 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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, 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 we have given some examples of the points given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
