Volumetrics Diet
History of the Volumetrics Diet
The first Volumetrics book was published in 2000, and a second book, The Volumetrics Eating Plan was released in 2005. Both were written by nutritionist Barbara Rolls, PhD, and Robert A. Barnett.
Rolls is a professor of nutrition at Penn State University and also the director of the Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior, which means she and her colleagues study how and why people eat what they do.
She has written more than 200 articles on human nutrition, and much of the Volumetrics plan is based on her laboratory research. Rolls says her studies have shown people can eat fewer calories and lose weight without feeling hungry when they add more fruits and vegetables and opt for lower-calorie dishes.
