'Refreshing. . . .Honest--and honestly motivating' this plan to lose weight puts the focus on feeling satisfied with fewer calories (Washington Post).Dieters everywhere have the same complaint: they're hungry all the time. Now 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' -- 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, eaten under which circumstances, allow you to consume fewer calories and still be satisfied. And you'll get to know the hidden calorie traps, seemingly innocuous foods that can sneak unwanted calories into your body. Volumetrics also offers 60 sensible, tasty and easy recipes, plus an integrated program of exercise and behavior management that can be sustained over a lifetime.'The most popular and effective diet you have never heard of.' --Newsweek
