Publisher's note

Dieters everywhere have the same complaint: they're hungry all the time. Now this revolutionary book, based on sound scientific principles, can help you lose weight safely, effectively, and permanently without those gnawing pangs of hunger.

The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan introduces the concept of "energy density" -- concentration of calories in each portion of food. Here you'll learn how to avoid high energy -- dense foods, and how such different nutritional factors as fat, fiber, protein, and water affect energy density and satiety. You'll discover which foods, eaten under which circumstances, allow you to consume fewer calories and still be satisfied. And you'll get to know the hidden calorie traps, seemingly innocuous foods that can sneak unwanted calories into your body. Finally, the authors offer 60 sensible, tasty and easy recipes, plus an integrated program of exercise and behavior management that can be sustained over a lifetime.

Annotation

In this diet plan, author Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., shows readers how to eat large quantities of food and simultaneously reduce their caloric intake. She reasons that low-calorie, high-volume foods, such as fresh grapes and baked potatoes, fill the stomach faster than high-calorie, low-volume foods, such as raisins and potato chips. This plan includes healthier versions of traditional American favorites, like lasagna, burgers, and pizza.
