Volumetrics Diet

What types of meals should you eat on Volumetrics Diet?


Following the Volumetrics diet, you'll focus on food that's less energy dense than other types – which means it has few calories per gram, and will fill you up without breaking your calorie bank. Go for a pound of low-density carrots, for example, rather than an ounce of peanuts, which packs the same number of calories. No food is off-limits or required; make swaps where they're most bearable. Volumetrics splits food into four categories based on its density – category one, the best choices, includes nonstarchy fruits and vegetables, nonfat milk and broth-based soup. You can also go heavy on category two choices, like starchy fruits and veggies, grains, breakfast cereal, low-fat meat, legumes, chili and spaghetti. Be sparing with chips, cookies, cheese, nuts, butter and oil.
