Dotti's Weight Loss Zone
This site was
highly recommended to us by one of our Fruitfull® consumers. The
site's mantra is that "It is a Lifestyle, not a Diet" and "One Day at a Time, No
Guilt and Move on." It has a kind of homemade touch to it, by Dotti and
her husband, Al. As it states, " Thanks to my wonderful husband, Al who
urged me to create this website and has always been very supportive throughout
my weight loss journey. He has drawn many of the graphics on my web pages
along with creating the 'thermometer to success' for all to enjoy.
He also writes all of 'Al's Articles' - my favorite section. Yes, I am a
lucky woman!" With a Weight Watcher's bend this site is loaded with
inspiration, motivation and tons of success stories and humor.
One of the greatest aspects of the Dottie's Weight Loss Zone (DWLZ) site is that
it lists Fruitfull's® Weight Watcher points (or WW points) under Brand
Foods in the Frozen Dessert/Ice Cream section. To link directly to that
part of the DWLZ website,

little more than a converted hotel room with a treadmill and some dumbbells.
Unlike most travel databases, the hotels and gyms don't pay us (we don't let
them), so they can't buy their way in here. The only way to get listed is to
have a great facility."

Volumetrics
Volumetrics is designed to help you lose weight safely,
effectively, and permanently without feeling hungry or deprived.
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."
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. 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.
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).
Click here to see the Fruitfull® Volumetrics Table and
learn more about this healthy diet.
