A new book by Barbara Rolls, professor of Beef and Veggie Pocket, Pasta with Exploding
nutritional sciences and Helen A. Guthrie Chair in Tomatoes and Arugula, and Alex's Three-Layer
Nutrition at Penn State, aims to help people control Carrot Cake. Full-color photographs illustrate many
their hunger while also losing weight. "The Ultimate of the recipes.
Volumetrics Diet" will be available in stores and
online on April 10. The new book builds upon Rolls' two previous
books about Volumetrics principles, one of which
"There is no magic way to get around the fact that topped the New York Times Paperback Advice

consume to below the number you burn," Rolls
said. "However, cutting calories doesn't have to
leave you feeling hungry. You can carefully choose Provided by Pennsylvania State University
the foods you eat so that you feel full and satisfied
on fewer calories."

Rolls' new book is based on her decades of


research on diet and nutrition, which shows that
lowering the calorie density -- or calories per bite --
of food can help people feel full while eating fewer
calories. For example, in one study, she and her
colleagues found that by using Volumetrics
principles to reduce calories per bite by 30 percent
and serving size by 25 percent, participants ate
800 calories less per day and never missed them.

The new book contains a 12-week diet plan with


chapters on "Building Your Meal Around Fruits and
Vegetables," "Managing Fat and Sugar," "Eating
Away From Home," and "Maintaining Your
Volumetrics Lifestyle." For example, the chapter on
"Building Your Meal Around Fruits and Vegetables"
includes advice on how to boost vegetable intake
by sneaking them into favorite foods. Rolls'
research has shown that preschool children
consume nearly twice as many vegetables and 11
percent fewer calories over the course of a day
when pureed vegetables are added to their favorite
foods.

In addition to a 12-week diet plan, the book also


contains over 100 nutritionally balanced recipes
that she and her staff -- and even family members
-- created. Recipes include Greek Frittata,
Caribbean Bean and Squash Soup, Zesty Roast
