The Volumetrics Eating Plan is not a short-term diet book, but provides recipes and ideas on how to eat for the long term. It gives readers a method to eat fewer calories by making what you eat less calorie dense. It does this by focusing on foods with high water and fiber content. Basically, the Volumetrics approach emphasizes foods with a low "energy density," (calories) that are high in water content such as fruits, vegetables, and soups. The idea is that low-calorie, high-water, high-fiber foods generally make you feel full faster so you consume fewer calories overall. The author's research shows that by emphasizing these high-water content, low-calorie dense foods, a person feels satisfied on many fewer calories per day. Professor Rolls divides foods into 4 categories based on whether a food has less, equal, or more calories per serving than its weight in grams. Category 1 foods should be emphasized and eaten first. Category 4 foods should be eaten in small quantities. Examples of the foods in each category are as follows: Category 1 - non-starchy fruits and veggies, nonfat milk, broth-based soups; Category 2 - starchy fruits and veggies, grains, cereal with low-fat milk, beans and legumes, low-fat meats, and mixed dishes such as chili; Category 3 - meats, cheeses, pizza, French fries, bread, cake, and ice cream; and finally Category 4- crackers, chips, chocolate candies, cookies, butter, nuts, and oils. The diet is balanced in terms of carbs, protein, and fat, and does not eliminate food groups. The Volumetrics eating plan also allows you to eat your favorite foods occasionally so that you don't feel too deprived and go off the program. Included in the book are menu planners and 125 recipes with color photographs. The book also provides worksheets for tracking your food intake and weight. Examples of recipes include: Baked Berry French Toast, Vegetable Party Platter, Sesame Mushroom Kebobs, Corn and Tomato Chowder, Minestrone Soup, Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich, Buffalo Chicken Wraps, Charlie's Greek Salad, Tangy Cole Slaw, Tabbouleh, Balsamic Dressing, Minted Broccoli, Ratatouille, Tofu Pad Thai, Nouveau Lamb Stew, Shrimp Creole, Chicken Parmesan, Risotto Primavera, The Aristotle Pizza, and Maple CrA me Caramel.

Your Personal Eating Plan Resources, References, Index, Conversion Chart Barbara Rolls is a professor and nutritionist who worked with the National Institutes of Health, and is well qualified to write this book. The menu is elaborate and time-consuming, yet this should be a good plan for slow and steady weight reduction if you have the time to put into planning, buying, and preparing the complex recipes and are able to follow the plan for life. It is based on the common sense that emphasizing low calorie dense, high-fiber, high-water content foods will slowly reduce your caloric intake and allow you to lose weight and keep it off.
