Barbara Rolls, Professor at Penn State University, co-wrote "The
Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan: Feel Full on Fewer Calories" and
published it in 2000.

Barbara Rolls was probably the Thesis advisor to the PhD student who
wrote the research findings that are the basis of this press release.

It is good advice to flatter your PhD Advisor, as you may not get a
degree if you contradict their favorite theories.

This is not "impartial" research, for that reason.

Here is an extract from the jacket of "The Volumetrics ...." book.

----------------------------------------------------------
The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan introduces the concept of "energy
density" -- concentration of calories in each portion of food. Here
you'll learn how to avoid high energy -- dense foods, and how such
different nutritional factors as fat, fiber, protein, and water affect
energy density and satiety. You'll discover which foods, eaten under
which circumstances, allow you to consume fewer calories and still be
satisfied. And you'll get to know the hidden calorie traps, seemingly
innocuous foods that can sneak unwanted calories into your body.
Finally, the authors offer 60 sensible, tasty and easy recipes, plus an
integrated program of exercise and behavior management that can be
sustained over a lifetime.

I wanted to believe in this, but when I tried it, I still got fatter
eating large amounts (and not exercising much).

Eat Less, Exercise More! Whatever "Plan" helps you do that is possibly
a good thing.
