Book Reviews of The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan : Feel Full on Fewer Calories
Book Review: The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan
Summary: 4 Stars
Diet was highly rated by Consumers report. Book was easy to understand and made horse sense. I am a volume eater and the other diets didn't fill me. This idea works and I am using it. Only shortcoming was too few recipes Looking for a second book with more.
The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan
Book Review: Good information, dispels a lot of myths
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone that's been sucked in by the low low-carb diet craze (or any other fad diet) should read this book. The author writes the scientific facts behind losing weight and keeping the weight off.
I've already lost 11lbs using the books principles. It's taken 6 weeks to lose that weight; the book doesn't promise quick results. However, I feel confident that the results are permanent, and I'll continue to lose 1 to 2 lbs a week until I get to my healthy weight.

Summary: 4 Stars
Let me start off by saying I am not interested in fad diet books. I have successfully lost weight on my own and am mearly looking for different points of view to help me continue to eat and stay healthy. The premise of this book is very simple, if you eat foods that allow you to eat a large volume of food for little calories (low energy density), it can help you to feel more satiated. Obviously, it is slightly more complex that that with examples of what this means when it comes to different types of foods (like protein, veggies, etc.), but overall it is easy to grasp what the authors are talking about. What I like about this book is that it is subtantiated with lots of study examples from all over the world. It also provides lots of examples of how to put the premise to good use either with your own existing recipes or some of the recipes in the book. Most of them, like eating soup with your meals because in studies those who did tended to eat less in the meals that follow, are very easy to implement. This is great because you can take the suggestions that seem like they would work with your lifestyle and combine them with what you're currently doing. That's great for someone like me who has a lot of existing recipes and is constantly looking for ways to make things more healthy. It also debunks a lot of the diet myths we've heard (i.e. that drinking water makes you eat less). The downside of this book, is that once you have read it the concept is pretty easy to grasp so unless you really love the recipes you probably won't turn to it as a constant resource. To me that makes it more worth a read at the library than a purchase for my bookshelf.Book Review: Volumetrics Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent book, good information that needs to be absorbed again and again. I lost 40 pounds last year without "dieting". I continue to read it on a periodic basis just to keep the ideas fresh in my head.
