| 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.
Volumetrics ranked top diet plan by Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports ranked "The Volumetrics Eating Plan," based on research by Barbara Rolls, the holder of the Guthrie Chair of Nutrition at Penn State, as the top-rated diet in its new June issue, released today (May 8). "Recent clinical trials show the best overall weight loss of any diet evaluated," said the Consumer Reports article. "Based on research at Penn State, the diet aims to maximize the amount of food available per calories, mainly by use of reduced-fat products, liberal addition of vegetables and low-fat cooking techniques." The overall evaluation included Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Slim-Fast, eDiets, The Zone, Ornish and Atkins Diets. " 'Volumetrics' translates the science into practical advice for both healthy eating and weight management," said Rolls, a professor of nutritional sciences in the College of Health and Human Development.
Donna Maurillo, Food for Thought: Diet season comes with summer
Summer is always the time when people pay the most attention to their food intake. "Swimsuit season is here!" "Get in shape for summer!" We get it from magazine covers, resort-wear shops and our own internal voices. We skip carbs, don't eat anything white — flour, sugar, bread, rice — skip meals, drink meal replacements, eat cabbage soup, avoid fat and try the latest herbal weight-loss fad. But does anything work? That's what the June issue of Consumer Reports wanted to know, so they did a study to compare results. What came out on top? Of the popular diet plans, it was Volumetrics, followed by Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and Slim Fast. The Atkins Diet came in last. In the middle were the eDiet, the Zone Diet and the Ornish Diet. If you haven't heard about Volumetrics, it's a plan developed at Pennsylvania State University that trains you to eat greater quantities of low-calorie foods rather than small amounts of higher-calorie foods.
