Volumetrics Diet

Many people think that if you want to lose weight, you have to eat less. That's not true and the Volumetrics Diet proves it. The volumetric diet was developed by Dr. Barbara Rolls, a nutritionist and obesity researcher at Penn State. This diet is based on the idea that the amount you eat leads to weight loss, not the calories you count. The gist of this diet is simple - eat lots of water-rich foods to keep you feeling full and lose weight. Nutritionists agree that this is a smart choice because it allows you to eat nutritious options like vegetables and fruits while keeping calories in check. Dieting follows an unstructured eating approach rather than restricting certain foods or severely restricting daily calorie intake.

Volumetrics Diet does not require meal times or portions. Instead, no food is nutritionally taboo, but attention is paid to the energy density of the food. The recommended daily calories for weight loss on this plan are 1,600 calories for women and 2,000 calories for men, which should be a sustainable goal for most people. Your nutritional needs may vary depending on your physical activity level, age and health concerns. If you have questions about a volumetric diet and want to make sure it's safe for you, talk to your doctor.
