Volumetric Diet

Fad diets are all the rage. Some are quite beneficial, while some are, well, a complete waste of time. Sometimes it is hard to find out diet technique are worth trying and which one should just be avoided. The thought of loosing weight without having to exert effort is somewhat like finding the Holy Grail of dieting. But is that really possible?

Lets take a look at one called The Volumetric Diet which is a diet established Nutritionist Dr. Barbara J. Rolls who also co-authored "The Volumetric Weight-Control Plan" with Journalist Robert A. Barnett in 2000. This diet focuses on consuming food with high water content to make the person feel full and to keep them from eating a little too much. Soup is just the kind of dish perfect for this diet.

So the question one should ask is: Should we try this diet?

The Volumetrics diet has modest goals. This isn't a diet that will help you lose 10 pounds in a week. Instead, Rolls says that you should aim for something reasonable and sustainable. She suggests a goal of losing 5% to 10% of your current body weight, shedding a pound or two a week.

Well, according to Dr. Barbara J. Rolls herself, she said that this diet is not appropriate for everyone as eating in excess to feel full is not the only reason people over eat. There are other Psychological reason on why we eat too much. The convenience factor involving this diet is not all that great. Not everyone has the motivation and the time to buy and prepare fresh fruit, vegetables and home cooked meals in general. For some people, this is a huge lifestyle reason why their diets aren't like this to begin with.
