Amazon.com Review:
Do you overeat because you don't feel satisfied or full?Volumetrics is based on 'the science of satiety'--whatresearchers have learned about the food choices that make people feelfull. The authors teach you how to eat low-calorie-dense, high-volumefoods so that you feel like you've eaten plenty, even though you'veeaten fewer calories. You'll lose weight without feeling hungry ordeprived.
Here's an example of how volume affects eating. Raisinsare dried grapes. But 100 calories of raisins fill only one-quartercup, while 100 calories of fresh, whole grapes fill one and two-thirdscups. You'll feel satisfied after one and two-thirds cups of grapes,but if you're eating raisins, you're likely to keep filling yourmouth. The point is not to stop eating raisins (or chocolate, cheese,or other high-calorie, low-volume foods), but to realize that you'relikely to take in many more calories before your body tells you you'refull. If you're trying to manage your weight, eating more low-densityfoods (lower-calorie foods that have a lot of volume) will make youfeel full while you drop pounds.
Barbara Rolls, a respected andwell-published food-nutrition researcher at Pennsylvania StateUniversity, and food writer Robert Barnett explain energy density andhow to use this concept to lose weight. They include the scientificevidence about how low-density (low-calorie, high-volume) foods makeyou feel satisfied, the best (and worst) foods for a satisfying,lower-calorie diet, a menu plan, an exercise plan, and environmentalinfluences on eating. You also learn which foods are easiest toovereat. This is not a fad diet--it is logical and scientificallybased, yet easy to understand and put into action. --Joan Price

Rating:  - Feeling Guilty About What You Ate Yesterday?
I LOVE the entire concept of Volumetrics...Eat as much as you want and lose weight!Seriously, we can all benefit from Volumetrics' advice -eat more fruit and vegetables, drink more water, and consume fewer fats and simple carbs.Above all else, I appreciated the gentle reminder to forive yourself when you eat things that are bad for you.We are far from perfect, and this diet (and its authors) recognizes this fact and helps us overcome our guilt and anxiety about our shortcomings.
Rating:  - Very useful
Much useful information about choosing food while on a diet.Did you know that 1/4 cup of raisins and 1 and 2/3 cups of grapes each have about 100 calories? Obviously the grapes are much more filling and satisfying.The book also includes diet samples.
Rating: - Very Interesting -- and it Works!
Wish I would have found this 7-8 years ago when it was first published.
I lost 65 pounds but became stuck for a year or more. This book helped me break the plateau...and I'm on the way down again!

Rating: - How Optical Illusions Help You Eat Well
How can air in food make you more satisfied - make you eat less? How can it curb a tendency to be fat, or reverse a trend?
Can it? Turns out - yes.
Feed a hungry college student a half glass full of smoothie and they will eat 20% more at lunch ½ later than the college student who drinks the SAME smoothie only whipped until it swells to a full glass with air. Not only that, but the ones that eat the airy smoothie don't make it up at their next meal.
