Volumize Your Meals: Maximize Satisfaction and Minimize Calories
Eat More to Weigh Less?
It might sound counterintuitive, but the Volumetrics approach to healthy eating encourages just that. This science-backed strategy suggests shifting from a "dieting" mindset and embracing generous servings of nutritious, delicious foods.
"‘Eat less’ isn't always the best strategy," explains Dr. Barbara Rolls, a professor and nutrition researcher at Pennsylvania State University, and the author of "The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan" and "The Volumetrics Eating Plan." She emphasizes learning how to enjoy satisfying portions while managing your weight by choosing foods that are both wholesome and filling.
Tips to Volumize Your Meals
"The Volumetrics Cookbook for Jenny Craig," co-authored by Dr. Rolls, offers practical tips to incorporate low-calorie-density foods into your daily meals. Here’s how to fill up without filling out:
- Start with Soup: Begin your meal with minestrone, tomato, or rustic barley soup.
- Include Fish: Grill fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids twice a week and pair it with plenty of vegetables.
- Opt for Whole Grains: Choose whole grain or wheat-blended pastas to increase fiber and enhance satiety.
- Enjoy Fresh Fruit: Add seasonal berries to yogurt for a refreshing parfait.
- Maximize Vegetables: Increase the proportion of vegetables in your salad, while reducing dressing, cheese, and croutons.
