Dr. Barbara Rolls created the Volumetrics Diet to
eliminate the feeling of deprivation that comes with many diets. Her diet lets
you feel full and satisfied while you lose weight. And as you lose weight you
adjust your outlook on food and move to an eating plan that can stay with you
for life.

The diet allows three meals, two snacks and a dessert.
You balance your intake based on the category of foods that you desire.
Category 1 foods are so low in calorie density that they're essentially
unlimited. Category 4 foods are pretty much diet-busters, so you get very
little from that category.
The book "The Volumetrics Weight-control Plan" is
an essential part of this diet. You need to look up your meal components to
determine their energy density. That can be a real drag for some people. If you
didn't enjoy middle school math, pass on this diet. Once you get your favorite
foods highlighted in the book, things get a lot easier.
The diet does a good job of pointing you toward foods
that will help you lose weight while filling your stomach. You will feel full
after dinner. Unfortunately, these low density foods don't have the "staying
power" of higher density foods, so you might get hungry before the next
meal or snack rolls around.
The Volumetrics Diet is a sensible approach to weight
loss. Based on 1,100 to 1,600 calories a day, it will provide gradual, safe
weight loss without driving you toward poor nutrition. This is a diet that can
stay with you for life, so you won't regain the lost weight the month following
your diet.
So, are you good at math and ready to lose some pounds?
Give the Volumetrics Diet a try and let us know your results!
