Volumetrics Diet Tips


This is the first time I’ve heard of The Volumetrics Diet:

“Fruits and vegetables are one of the keys to good health. Barbara Rolls invented the sensible Volumetrics diet, which encourages people to eat large quantities of low-energy-dense foods rather than small portions of energy-dense foods. This plan makes sense: You feel full, lose weight and end up eating a lot more fresh produce.”

It sounds like this is meant to be a pro-roughage kind of thing, which is certainly a good rule of thumb for healthy eating. But what about the following volume-increasing diet tips:

1. Whipped Cream

2. Ground Beef

3. Shredded Cheese

4. Blended Margaritas

5. Candy Foam
