Volumetric Diet for Beginners Nathan Cole

What if you could eat a lot and still lose weight? You can on Volumetrics, a diet created by Barbara Rolls, PhD. Unlike diets that are based on deprivation, the Volumetrics approach helps people find healthy foods that they can eat lots of while still losing weight. The hook of Volumetrics is its focus on feeling full. Rolls says that people feel full because of the types and amounts of food they eat -- not because of the number of calories or the grams of fat, protein, or carbs. So the trick is to fill up on the right foods that fill you up for fewer calories. Volumetrics will let you eat more, not less, than you do now, while still slimming down. You won't lose a lot of weight in a hurry. This is more of a long-term plan. You'll work toward your weight loss goals by meeting daily calorie goals and daily steps goals for exercise. Bottom line: You'll lose weight by feeling full on fewer calories.
