The Volumetrics Diet
While other diets focus on reducing high-calorie foods, the Volumetrics Diet emphasizes high amounts of low-calorie foods. Developed by nutrition professor Barbara Rolls, Volumetrics highlights highly nutritious foods with low energy density. These include berries, lean meats, and nonfat dairy products.
Dr. Rolls designed Volumetrics based on research. Large observational studies link low-density foods with a reduced risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Many people go on this diet to lose weight healthily since it also encourages 30 to 60 minutes of exercise daily.
