| Consumer Reports Picks Best Diet Plan, Book
Volumetrics is the best carefully researched diet plan, and "The Best Life Diet" is the best diet book, Consumer Reports says. Volumetrics is based on the research of Penn State nutritional science professor Barbara Rolls, PhD. The Volumetrics diet stresses eating foods with low "energy density" — that is, foods with relatively few calories per portion. Such foods include fruits, salads, and soups. The Best Life Diet, by personal trainer and exercise physiologist Bob Greene, stresses exercise and gives personalized advice, including recipes and a recommended eating schedule. To rate the diet plans, "Consumer Reports" Senior Project Editor Nancy Metcalf and colleagues reviewed diet studies published in major medical journals. After Volumetrics, Metcalf's team ranked Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and Slim-Fast "very close together." The report gave middling ratings to eDiets and to Barry Sear's The Zone Diet.
CSIRO book judged the best diet in Australia
The CSIRO's Total Wellbeing Diet has been voted the most effective way to lose weight by an online panel of Australian dieters. The high-protein diet beat 19 other plans including Weight Watchers and Dr Tickell's Great Australian Diet, which came second and third respectively. Other contenders reviewed included the Atkins diet, the Zone, Herbalife weight management program and the South Beach diet. The first volume of the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet book sold more than 700,000 copies, knocking both Harry Potter and The Da Vinci Code off the top of the bestseller list. The authors have since launched a second volume, which tackled criticism of the science behind the original diet. .
