details of this Weight Watchers book:

Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and is an incredibly successful commercial diet program that focuses on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

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

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally to get advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that go along with any dieting program. Members also have access to online support together with online calculators and menus.

As well, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals that may be purchased through a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allotted to foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every serving. Usually, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as body weight and target weight.

The points formula 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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. So, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here you will find some examples of the points assigned 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
