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

This revolutionary book, based on sound scientific principles, can help you lose weight safely, effectively, and permanently without those gnawing pangs of hunger. The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan introduces the concept of "energy density" - the concentration of calories in each portion of food. Here you'll learn how to avoid high energy-dense foods, and how such different nutritional factors as fat, fiber, protein, and water affect energy density and satiety. You'll discover which foods are not only loaded with calories but what kinds of foods, eaten under which circumstances, allow you to consume fewer calories and still be satisfied. And you'll get to know the hidden calories traps, seemingly innocuous foods that can sneak unwanted calories into your body. Finally, the authors offer 60 sensible, tasty, and easy recipes, plus an integrated program of exercise and behavior management that can be sustained over a lifetime.
