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

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

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally for ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes that go along with not just this but any dieting plan. Members are also provided with online support and online menus and points calculators.

In addition, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals that you can get through a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is given to foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. Generally, 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 is then dependent on things like his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The points formula is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(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 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given some examples of the points assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
