details of this Weight Watchers book:

Weight Watchers has been around for a long time now and has proved to be a tremendously successful commercial diet program that revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Different foods are allotted a points value and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and recipes that are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their home area for both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any diet plan. Members are also provided with online support as well as online menus and calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that you can purchase at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allocated to foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends upon 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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For instance, 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 are some examples of the points scores assigned 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
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
