Someone suggested I look at this, but it was worth no more than a 15 minute skim. One interesting principal is that people eat the same weight of food per day so that you should generally eat foods high in water (ie fruits and vegetables). While the principal is new, the underlying thought is not revolutionary in the diet world. I mostly picked it up b/c my neighbors and are in a weight loss contest with our husband, but we are smoking them anyway, even without the Volumetrics.

I am currently reading this book and it is very interesting the logic behind it. I think once you memorize the concept, it will be very helpful. More to report after the completion.
This book has some good pointers to help someone trying to add healthy habits and implement them while avoiding the process of starving when you reduce calories. My problem is keeping the frig stocked with "acceptable" food that doesn't go bad before I eat it.

A decent book. Can see where plans like weight watchers, etc have done their research. My problem with this book is that density is mass/volume, not the other way around. When the author starts talking about Energy Density, her formula is calories/mass. And then the book is called "Volumetrics". I don't know. Can't get past the words being muddled.
The point is correct though. Eat a larger volume of low calorie foods.

I really liked the idea of this book. I have adopted a few of the techniques...eating more soup and adding veggies to my sandwiches to make them bigger for less calories. I enjoyed two of the recipes for the soup too.
This book has a lot of useful information so far. I've highlighted and bookmarked several sections. Hopefully it will help for 2009 weight-loss goals.
