The Volumetrics Diet Book is based on the premise that you can
actually eat more, not less AND you can eat whatever you like! Now for
anyone who is constantly dieting this sounds fantastic but don't get too
excited because as always there is a catch.
For this diet to work you are able to eat a lot more of some foods and a lot less of others. And the foods you can fill up on are salads and other high water content, low calorie foods and the foods you have to eat less of are the undesirable but much more appealing foods like cakes, chips and donuts. Now stay with me here because by the end of this short article I will clue you in on exactly what diets do work.
This diet isn't as concerned as some other diets with portion control but focuses more on eating some types of foods over others and at the same time you are encouraged to substitute certain foods for others, for instance using applesauce instead of oil or butter. Portion control only comes into effect when you want to eat some of the undesirable foods like chocolate, butter, oil, cakes, candy and so on. Food preparation is another important aspect of the Volumetrics Diet. So you are advised to, grill or sauté your chicken rather than frying it. This is similar to most other diets in this respect as is the fact that you are encouraged to include daily exercise into your diet plan. Although this diet presents itself as being totally unique it still based on the basics of dieting. In other words you still need to keep portion control in mind, you still need to cook your foods using healthy methods, you still need to exercise and you still need to substitute the so-called 'bad' foods for the good foods.
The Volumetrics diet may work for some but only for those with plenty of self control as the diet works on the assumption that anyone following it will be able to take only a bite or two from a donut and then put the rest away. Even the most self controlled person would have trouble with doing that and when we are on a diet it is even worse because after the first little while we start to crave all those yummy foods. I am a serial dieter and I have yet to manage to put down something scrumptious after a bite or two. I may put it aside but I will go back and eat it, and this is just how most other struggling dieters react. So although the diet outlined in the Volumetrics Diet Book sounds fantastic by telling you that you can eat pretty much anything you want, you still need to exercise control and maintain moderation.
