This is a great read! It's very close to the changes that I've made to my eating habits. Dr. Rolls stresses that feeling full is the key to healthy weight loss and she is spot on. She also makes it a point that this isn't a diet, that's it is a lifestyle change, something that can be sustained and maintained for the long term. I think she might be on to something.

Weight loss plan for the personal tracking devotee. Read about this author in a NYT article on using purees to add fruits, vegetables and fiber in recipes. The recipes provided in the book were uninspiring, and the technique presented ("volumetrics") involves a considerable amount math (or memorizing) and self-tracking.
I first picked up this book because the plan was recommended over others in a comparative study of nutrition plans. I wanted to see what made this "diet book" better than others. Turns out that the Volumetrics Eating Plan is so simple and logical that I didn't really even think of it as a "plan" -- it's just smart eating, spelled out in a way that you can easily remember and work into your daily routine. The actually eating plan takes up very little of the book; most pages ar...more
OK, I didn't really "read" this as much as skim it. I had read up on the concepts previously, so I had the gist of the concept. (More volume makes you feel full, to bulk things up add more vegetables, and yay soup.) I mostly wanted the recipes. However...I was not that enthused. I should admit that I judge cookbooks (and restaurants) on their vegetarian food, and this was sparse. And they looked pretty labor-intensive, so, I probably won't be doing a lot with this. Oh well.
Awful name but one of the most sensible diet plans out there.
