Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time and is a hugely successful commercial diet program which concentrates on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Food is given a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their local area for ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes which accompany not just this but any diet plan. There is also online support together with online calculators and menus.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals which can be purchased at a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points score and high fiber foods will have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters then depends on things like body weight and the desired weight loss.

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: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For instance, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you will find some examples of the points 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
