International Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time and has proved to be a very successful commercial diet program that revolves around balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Food items are assigned a points score and members make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their local area for ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany not just this but any diet program. Members can also get online support together with online menus and calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals which you can buy at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allotted to foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. As a general rule, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on such things as body weight and target weight.

The formula for calculating a points value is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here we have given some examples of the points values given to certain 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
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
