Fiber comes in two forms: dietary and functional. Dietary fiber comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Acacia is a soluble fiber and according W.W Dietary Fiber: The Basics is consider to be a good fiber for weight management.
Have you seen the following comment in W.W. web site?

"Weight Watchers PointsPlus™ plan and the formula used to calculate PointsPlus values is based on the foods as they are purchased. Therefore, adding a fiber supplement will not alter the PointsPlus value of any individual food product"

Taking a soluble fiber supplement it will definitely increase the total dietary fiber content consumed in a day
