Summary: Volumetrics Offers the Right Advice
Comment: "Volumetrics" is the best weight management book available today. This is the book anybody interested in weight management should read. It is a refreshingly honest approach that refutes a lot of the diet hype books on the market today. The book offers practical advice on how to control your hunger, as well as recipes. It doesn't offer the phony promises of "burn away fat while eating lard" that so many of the blockbuster diets on the market offer. Instead, it delivers a pound-shedding plan to lose excess weight without feeling hungry that is based on years of science research. The general premise is built around research that indicates that people eat the same WEIGHT of food everyday, regardless of the number of calories that it contains. Lower the calorie content, but not the food's weight and you will lose excess pounds without going hungry. It is a very easy book to read and includes recipes for meals, and is easier to follow than other energy density-base books such as the Pritikin Principle. It also appears more thorough and honest than Dr. Shapiro's Picture Perfect Weight Loss. The book's only weakness is its lack of color photographs and illustrations, which is unfortunate because that will probably hurt sales.

Summary: This works!
Comment: I have tried to lose weight and this approach is the first that actually works. I have lost 7 pounds in 2 months. It is a sensible approach to one's diet, focusing on eating lots of vegetables and fruits.
When you fill up on water-rich food (veggies & fruits), it's easy to avoid ingesting foods like chips and sweets. The idea is to eat when you are hungry, but eat foods that are veggie-rich. It also suggests that you don't eat when you're not hungry. I found this hard at first, but when I want to eat and am not hungry, I make myself a healthy salad, and it's satisfying.
Give this a shot - the book is worth it's cost. I'm finally down the road of weight loss! I hope it works for you, too!

Summary: missing star sodium alert
Comment: This otherwise useful/valuable book (see other reviews) is marred by lack of care in the matter of sodium. When the caloric content of food is reduced(desireable for weight loss) the sodium from added salt should also be reduced. For example, an extra helping of Vegetable Curry Soup, or Chili Ranchero would be fine calorically, but in one item of one meal, would exceed the recommended daily maximum sodium intake, ~2000mg. This is an unnecessary risk, since by using simple techniques the salt content of most conventional recipes can be cut at least in half with miniscule loss in flavor. To understand the many reasons for salt restriction, "The Salt Solution" by Boynton, McCarty, and Moore, and "Salt, Diet, and Health" by MacGregor and de Wardener, are highly recommended.
