The Diet Bible According to Me (ePub)

I researched 41 Diet Plans and included some recipes for each Diet Plan. Flexitarian is a marriage of two words: flexible and vegetarian. The term was coined more than a decade ago by registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner in her 2009 book "The Flexitarian Diet: The Mostly Vegetarian Way to Lose Weight, Be Healthier, Prevent Disease and Add Years to Your Life."

What is Volumetrics Diet?
Pioneered by Penn State University nutrition professor Barbara Rolls, volumetrics is more of an approach to eating than it is a structured diet. With "The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet" book as your guide, you'll learn to decipher a food's energy density, cut the energy density of your meals and make choices that fight hunger.

Food is divided into four groups. Category one (very low-density) includes nonstarchy fruits and vegetables, nonfat milk and broth-based soup. Category two (low-density) includes starchy fruits and veggies, grains, breakfast cereal, low-fat meat, legumes and low-fat mixed dishes like chili and spaghetti. Category three (medium-density) includes meat, cheese, pizza, french fries, salad dressing, bread, pretzels, ice cream and cake. And category four (high-density) includes crackers, chips, chocolate candies, cookies, nuts, butter and oil.

You'll go heavy on categories one and two, watch your portion sizes with category three, and keep category four choices to a minimum. Each day, you'll eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, a couple snacks and dessert. Exactly how strictly you follow volumetrics is up to you. Though the books contain recipes and some sample meal plans, the point is to learn the volumetrics philosophy and apply it where you can throughout the day. See where you can replace a category four item with a category one item, for example.
