Volumetrics Review

What You Should Know

Volumetrics is an eating plan that was conceived by the nutritionist Dr. Barbara Rolls. Dr. Barbara Rolls is a Professor of Nutrition and a Director of the Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior at Penn State University. In 2000 she co authored a book with Robert A Barnett entitled ‘Volumetrics Weight Control Plan.’ And in 2005 she published a book entitled, ‘Volumetrics Eating Plan.’

Ingredients

There are no ingredients since Volumetrics is an eating plan.

Product Features

Dr. Barbara Rolls says that following a strict, severe diet, will only lead to unhappiness. You will feel constantly hungry and although you may lose weight you are likely to quickly put it back on again once you break your diet. Dr. Barbara Rolls says that if you want to loose weight successfully, you should follow the Volumetrics eating plan. Volumetrics consists of looking at the energy density of food. Energy density is the number of calories in a specific amount of food. Some foods such as fats, sweets and cakes have a high energy density. Water, for example, has a zero energy density. The system of Volumetrics therefore encourages you to eat foods that are high in water content and thus low in energy density, such as fruits and vegetables. Her book includes a number of eating plans and recipes based on her theory of Volumetrics. Fresh fruit salads, for example, and vegetable soups are perfect low energy foods and fit the Volumetrics eating plan.

Advantages

  • The books by Dr Rolls are reasonably priced.
  • Dr Barbara Rolls is an expert on nutrition and weight loss and has written over two hundred research papers on the subject.
  • The book, ‘The Volumetrics Eating Plan’ can be ordered online.

Disadvantages

  • Users of the Volumetrics diet may find that they frequently feel hungry.
  • There have been no long term standardized tests carried out involving the Volumetrics diet that we could find.
  • The Volumetric diet is actually very similar to other diets, since it basically involves increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables and decreasing your intake of fats.
  • Unlike a number of other diet plans, it is not designed to also increase your energy levels.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that Dr. Barbara Rolls is an expert in her field and that following the Volumetrics diet plan, you may actually lose some weight. However, the question we are concerned with is whether the Volumetrics diet plan is superior to other diet plans on the market. It seems that what Dr. Barbara Rolls is advising is in fact similar to other diet plans available; that is, to cut down on your fats and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. The Volumetrics eating plan may help you lose weight, but we do not believe that it is superior to other diet plans on the market, nor that it will be any easier to follow if you’ve had difficulty sticking to diets in the past.

**Our Top Weight Loss Choice**

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
