details of this Weight Watchers book:

Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time now and has proved itself to be a hugely successful diet program which revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are assigned a points value and members then use a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area for advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which go along with any dieting plan. Members can also get online support as well as online points calculators and menus.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which can be bought through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is given to various foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. Generally speaking, foods which are high in fat have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on such things as body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula used to calculate a points score 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. For example, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given a few examples of the points given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
