Weight Watchers Family Power:
5 Simple Rules for a Healthy-Weight Home

International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time now and has proved to be a hugely successful commercial diet program that revolves around a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Items of food are given a points value and members then use a points calculator and simple to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions for both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any dieting plan. Members are also provided with online support and online points calculators and menus.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that you can purchase at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is allotted to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula used to calculate a points score 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}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For instance, if the actual dietary figure is under 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are just a few examples of the points given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
