Eating behavior is one of the most obscure fields of human psychology. Animals' feeding behavior, on the other hand, is rather well researched a field of biology. Researchers thoroughly and fruitfully investigated into the problems of how an animal starts eating, how long continues, when and how stops and how soon resumes the feeding.
About Volumetrics by Robert Barnett and Barbara Rolls.
Eating behavior is one of the most obscure fields of human psychology. Animals' feeding behavior, on the other hand, is rather well researched a field of biology. Researchers thoroughly and fruitfully investigated into the problems of how an animal starts eating, how long continues, when and how stops and how soon resumes the feeding.
There are quite a few known parameters that affect the process. So-called energy density is one of them. The higher the density, the more calories are being consumed. How we sufferers from overeating can benefit from this fact? So far, little application of this knowledge to human control of food consumption was offered. Now you can read this book and you'll know how.
You will learn how to choose foods that are lowest in energy density and are the bulkiest, how to dilute energy dense foods with water or fiber, how to cook "Volumetrically" it's fun and it just has to work.
You can trust the authors. Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., has published three books on food and nutrition and published above 170 scientific articles on of nutrition and obesity. Robert A. Barnett is an author, editor, and writer. He is the editor of the famous cookbook, The American Health Food Book, now out of print.
The Volumetrics is thoroughly end-noted, so you can double-check the authors' conclusions if you want to. It contains recipes and menus and you'll definitely want to try them. I did.
You can get plenty of very practical stuff including recipes and "volumizing" tips.
This is what some dieters think about the Volumetrics plan.
- The general premise is built around research that indicates that people eat the same WEIGHT of food everyday, regardless of the number of calories that it contains.
- I have lost 7 pounds in 2 months.
- I've lost 5lbs in about 2 1/2 weeks
- I actually found myself eating less because of the higher water content, and could easily get through on a breakfast of 4-5 luscious, juicy fruits to mid-afternoon without feeling hungry.
- Definitely a cut above the typical fad diet plan.
- Not normally a soup eater, I now understand its value in a meal plan and eagerly look forward to trying some new soup recipes.
- The menus provide satisfying portions so I never feel hungry while watching my calories.
- It really has helped me to lose weight and I feel so much better now.
