The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan: Feel Full on Fewer Calories

Description

Barbara Rolls, PhD, and co-author Robert Barnett present Volumetrics, a long-term, sensible approach to weight loss based on the breakthrough concept that you can feel full while eating fewer calories. With Volumetrics, leading nutritionist Barbara Rolls, PhD, has devised a plan to give people what they've always wanted: a way to lose weight while still feeling full and satisfied. By concentrating on energy density (the amount of calories in a given volume of food) and its relation to feeling replete, Rolls and co-author Bob Barnett guide the reader towards a more rewarding and manageable lifetime approach to eating - one that doesn't include deprivation. Unlike many fad diets, their ideas are based on a solid body of scientific research, revealing the many factors that determine how much we eat, and hence how much weight we gain. From this research, Rolls and Barnett have created a clear program with tasty recipes, menus, and eating recommendations that can help anyone lose weight safely and effectively.

Barbara Rolls, PhD, holds the endowed Guthrie Chair of Nutrition at Pennsylvania State University and has served on the board of the NIH's National Institute of Diabetics and Digestion and Kidney Diseases. She has written three books for health professionals on nutrition and published many articles. Robert Barnett is a well-known food and nutrition writer. He is the author of Tonics and editor of the American Health Food Book. He is currently a health editor at Parenting magazine.
