Volumetrics Review

What You Should Know

Volumetrics is an eating program which embraces the idea that given the option most of us would choose to eat more rather than less. Designed by nutritionist and Penn State University professor Barbara Rolls PhD, the plan strives to teach its users to focus on low calorie high volume eating as a way to achieve gradual fat loss and maintain a healthy weight.

Product Features

The Volumetrics eating plan was formulated by nutritionist and author Dr. Barbara Rolls to address a simple fact; most people have trouble following restrictive diets involving small portions for very long: when it comes to meals the accepted notion really is that bigger is better. With the Volumetrics plan the emphasis is on finding foods that have a high water content but a low calorie count, such as fresh fruits and vegetable, while avoiding dense high calorie foods like fats and sweets. The plan looks to aid the user in losing about a pound or two per week and relies heavily on home-prepared meals as well as maintaining records of food intake and exercise. Dr Rolls has two books on the market which specifically work with this plan: ìVolumetrics Weight Control Planî and ìVolumetrics Eating Planî both of which can be purchased online at a treasonable price.

Advantages

  • There are a number of books by Dr Rolls available to guide the user with the Volumetrics plan.
  • The Volumetrics plan does not ban whole food categories.
  • There is scientific evidence to back up the effectiveness of following an eating program such as the Volumetrics plan.

Disadvantages

  • Volumetrics is not a new concept, like many other existing programs it is basically a plan for eating low calorie low fat foods with lots of fruits and vegetables.
  • The Volumetrics plan involves a lot of meal planning, preparation and record keeping: it may not be practical for those with already busy lifestyles.
  • For the most part the high water content foods relied on by the Volumetrics plan donít have a lasting effect, many users report hunger returns quickly after meals.

Conclusion

The Volumetrics eating plan, designed by Dr Barbara Rolls, is a healthy approach to weight maintenance and may even help some people lose weight. However, it involves a large commitment of both time and effort. The plan places emphasis on home prepared meals and on keeping records of meals and activity, a course of action which may not be possible for a lot of people living fast-paced, modern lifestyles. It should be noted that, because of the water rich foods involved in the plan, the addition of an appetite suppressing supplement may be needed to keep hunger away between meals.

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).
