Disclaimer: The team of Weight Watchers keeps updating the program, according to the requirements/feedback of their members. The program has been updated many times, the latest one being the Weight Watchers 360° program, which was unveiled on the 3rd of December, 2012. The program teaches members how to manage their food environment, claiming that we tend to eat what we see. It also guides people on ways to control their temptation, and to avoid pleasure eating. Weight Watchers has not increased their rates for this new approach, and all the meetings, eTools, and apps are included in the total fee. The content in this article explains the Weight Watchers program in detail. The details of the current program are exclusively available to the paid members of Weight Watchers. There are many online weight loss programs and one of the most popular ones is Weight Watchers. Unlike other diets, in this online weight loss program, there are no food or food groups that you are forbidden to eat. Every item of food that you eat, has a point assigned to it. This point assignment is based on the type of food, calories it contains and its portion size. When you join Weight Watchers weight loss program, you have to keep within a specified number of points in a day that is personalized just for you. You have to strictly keep a track of what you are eating. Food that is natural and in its raw state has lesser points assigned to it. On the other hand, processed food, dairy products and desserts have a higher point assigned. Weight Watchers points system makes it easy for people to know how much and what they are eating. Weight Watchers Points Formula The actual Weight Watchers points formula is a secret and is governed under the patent law of United States. The formula is like this: p = c/50 + f/12 - min {r,4}/5 where p stands for points, f stands for fats and c stands for calories. r stands for dietary fibers and min {r, 4} stands for the smaller number between dietary fibers or '4'. With this formula you can calculate the points in different kinds of food that you consume.
