Weight Watchers has been with us for many years now and has proved to be a very successful diet program that focuses on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are given a points value and members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their home area to get advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that go along with not just this but any dieting program. There is also online support and online menus and points calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals that you can purchase at a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is given to foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. As a general rule, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on such things as his or her body weight and target weight.

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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For example, if the actual figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here we have given a few examples of the points assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points

Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
