Weight Watchers has been about for many years and has proved itself to be a hugely successful commercial diet program that concentrates on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food items are assigned a points score and Weight Watchers members then use a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally to get advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes that go along with any dieting plan. Members are also provided with online support and online calculators and menus.

In addition, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that may be purchased through a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to a variety of foods according to the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on such things as his or her body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For example, if the actual figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you will find some 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
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
