Barbara Rollins puts forth the sensible, if not original, concept of eating more volume for less calories. The trick is to add more veggies to your meals and use low-fat diary when possible. How about that for a novel idea? On balance, there are some good recipes and I especially like that she compares the recipes with pictures and nutritional information side by side.
 An Eating Plan That Really Works!!! July 24, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I have tried several diets and eating plans over the years and have lost some weight with most of them, but I felt hungry most of the time with those diets or plans. However, this Volumetrics plan is helping me lose weight and I actually am NOT hungry. In fact, I think I am actually eating more food now than I was when I was gaining weight. I know it sounds improbable, but I am now convinced that this plan is effective. Not only am I losing weight, but I have energy and I really do not feel hungry. The only thing I have to guard against is a few urges to eat some items which are high energy density. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who needs to lose a large amount of weight, or even a few pounds. This is a plan that I can actually stay on for 6 months at a time and not suffer.
Volumetrics Works for Me July 20, 2007

I bought this book a few weeks ago after first using one from the library for a couple of weeks to see if I liked it. I've been following the ideas, though not always specific menus (mainly because I'm cooking only for myself and I end up with way too many leftovers), and losing about a pound a week. I do pick out a menu plan a couple of times a week and follow it, then mix and match on other days.
I find I'm less hungry on this plan than on others I've tried like Weight Watchers.
This plan makes sense. It doesn't seem new - after all, many plans count calories, etc., and the idea of eating more filling foods is mentioned in most plans - but this program gives it the importance it deserves and provides meal plans and recipes to back it up.
Many of the recipes are really good, I'd even serve them to guests, and I will continue to use them even after I've lost all the weight I want. Yes, some of them do have a lot of ingredients - I don't care since I want to lose weight, not make excuses.
I also like that there aren't any gimmicks. Calories are calories whether you call them that, or call them exchanges, or points, or buy some programs' food. And more than any other program, Volumetrics allows me to sometimes indulge and still stick to it.

I first read about the Volumetrics eating plan when Comsumer Reports did a survey on different diet plans and which worked best. Must admit that after purchasing Volumetrics, I skimmed the text and went right to the recipes which so far have proved to be fabulous and just liked promised ... very tasty and filling. Two thumbs up on this book. It delivers.
