The weight watchers diet is a golfers dream. After all, keeping point values low is second nature to any golfer worth his nine iron. The core premise of the weight watchers diet, is that you can eat anything you like within reason. To keep things reasonable, the plan assigns each food a point value based on calories, fiber, and fat.

A large slice of thin crust pizza for example has six points. While a healthier cup of berries has one. Based on your current weight and gender, the program assigns you a give number of points per day. In addition, you'll get a weekly allowance of extra points for special occasions. Like a night out with friends. Weight watchers also offers a website and real time meetings to offer peer assistance.

This diet also recommends the incorporation of an exercise program, which can earn you more food points. Weight watchers proves that as any good golfer knows, focusing on a low point value, may be just the ticket to long term success.
