Not sure about the flattery part, but I'd agree with the latter part of this
statement.

||
|| ----------------------------------------------------------
|| 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,

Argh!

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.

That sounds a lot like low carb, huh?

||
