Click here to see the Fruitfull® Volumetrics Table. The March 7th issue of US News and World Report has a cover story on Volumetrics. Volumetrics has also been featured in many other cover stores including the prestigious Center for Science in the Public Interest's Nutrition Action Newsletter. The Volumetrics diet proposes a new scientific approach to weight management based on the principle of satiety which is the "feeling of fullness at the end of a meal." Volumetrics is designed to help you lose weight safely, effectively, and permanently without feeling hungry or deprived. Dr. Barbara Rolls, who holds the endowed Guthrie Chair in Nutrition at Pennsylvania State University, has spent more than twenty years researching hunger and obesity and the factors that determine how we eat. Additionally Barbara Rolls, Ph.D, she has been president of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity and the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior, and has served on the advisory council of the National Institutes of Health's Institute of Diabetes and Digestion and Kidney Diseases. She is the author of three professional books on food and nutrition and more than 170 academic articles. Dr. Barbara Rolls is now on the board of the Jenny Craig weight-loss program, and she notes that Weight Watchers® seems to be incorporating aspects of Volumetrics as well Basically the Volumetrics diet says that when you eat food that is lower in calorie density you can get totally full eating fewer calories. Therefore you can eat more and consume less calories thereby losing weight without being constantly hungry.
As the US News and World Report article explains: The formula. Energy density is easy to calculate from a food label. Just divide the calories in one serving by its weight in grams, and you have the energy density of the food. To use Volumetrics for weight control, Rolls recommends making up a large portion of the diet with foods that have fewer calories in a serving than their weight in grams, resulting in energy densities below 1 (most fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products). Also good are foods with calories equal to or slightly greater than their weight, or an energy density of 1 to 2 (beans, fish, chicken without fat or skin, potatoes, pasta, rice, low-fat salad dressings). Foods that have two or more times as many calories as their weight (ice cream, beef, french fries, cheese, pretzels, full-fat salad dressings, chips, cookies, bacon, oils) need to be controlled. So using the volumetrics formula for Fruitfull® we find that it has the most desirable number of one! Our 4 oz. Fruitfull® bars have 118ml. (One ounce is approximately 30 grams.) So any bar that is under 118 calories or slightly more is fantastic. For example if you take a banana bar it has 110 calories. Divide 110 by 118 and you get less than one (.93). |
