Argh!

That sounds a lot like low carb, huh?

In simplified terms, eat tons of celery (not an energy dense food) and
exercise and "learn better behavior". Well, there is more than celery
that is lower calories per unit volume..... not the same as calories per
unit weight.

I read some of this years ago, and remember celery and lettuce and a lot
of things that were low evergy density (Per unit volume), and none of
them seemed tasty or workable to me at the time.

After low carb and learning to like more fresh veggies, it might be
interesting to rethink this "Volumetrics" stuff.
