Now this diet sounds like it would absolutely be for me.  Who does not want to be able to eat all you want with no restrictions and to be healthy and fit once again.  The eBook Volumetrics Diet: How I Lost 70 Lbs in 130 Days Using the Amazing Volumetrics Diet by Victoria Gardner tells all about the philosophy of this diet and how Gardner went from her over indulgence of carb and junk  foods to a more healthy diet; that became for her not just a diet but a way of life .  Gardner makes it perfectly clear that unlike diets that are based on deprivation, the Volumetrics approach helped her find healthy foods that she eat lots of while still losing weight.  I liked that she emphasized that she did not starve herself.  The hook of this particular diet is its focus on feeling full.  Gardner says that people feel full because of the types and amounts of food they eat.  The trick with this diet she says is that you actually  fill up on the right foods that fill you up for less calories.  She also explained that Volumetrics relies heavily on foods that have a lot of water in them, like many fruits and vegetables, because they fill you up without adding a lot of calories.  Just drinking water is not enough, Gardner says, because it satisfies your thirst but not your hunger.  Gardner also explained that Volumetrics is more then a diet as she explained about Voulmetrics walking program.  Which encourages you to adapt an easy-to-follow walking program based on counting the number of steps that you take each day.  She explained that she gradually built up both the range and intensity of her walking as she became more fit as the Volumetrics diet starts with learning to take at least 10,000 steps per day.  So I guess I will be soon working toward my weight loss goals by meeting my daily calorie goals and daily steps goals. Bottom line: If you buy this book and follow her example you will lose weight by feeling full on fewer calories.
