International Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time and has proved to be a tremendously successful diet program which revolves around balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food items are given a points score and members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling session in their local area to get advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes which accompany any diet program. Members can also get online support as well as online menus and calculators.

In addition, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals that you can purchase at many of the larger grocery chains.

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

The formula used to calculate a points score 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 figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here you can see a few examples of the points scores assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
