Weight Watchers Make It in Minutes:
Easy Recipes in 15, 20, and 30 Minutes

International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and has proved itself to be a hugely successful diet program that concentrates on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Different foods are assigned 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 local counseling sessions to get both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany not just this but any dieting program. Members can also get online support and online calculators and menus.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which may be purchased at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to various foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. Usually, high fat foods 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 body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula used to calculate a points score is:

weight watchers formula

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here we have given some examples of the points scores given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
