People don't all have the same metabolism. Some people respond well to a small change in caloric intake. Others do well on a low-fat diet. Others do well on a low-carb diet. Everyone does well with increasing the amount of exericise they do. Find a diet that works for you and exercise. Volumetrics isn't any better than anything else if all it focuses on is calories per gram. Food is not all digested the same way. Anyways, reading the article, it seems that volumetrics is a mix of the obvious (eat foods that are low in calories per unit volume to fill you up) and the obvious (eat a variety of foods). Eating lots of fiber and drinking water are not new concepts. Interestingly, the south beach diet, the Atkins maintenance diet and the volumetrics diets all preach similar things... high fiber, fruits, vegetables, meat (especially fish), natural grains, etc... I noticed that the volumetrics lady swims, walks, uses stairs, etc... So exercise is obviously a part of her regimen. Bolie IV There is no magic diet. People don’t all have the same metabolism.

Reason being that the sugar in regular Coke actually helps to suppress appetite which Diet Coke doesn't do. Of course my opinion on losing weight is burn more calories than you eat, or get off your fat ass and exercise. At least that's what I keep telling myself. A high fat, no-exercise lifestyle is why I am carrying around 40 more pounds than I want or need. :-) I heard one of the DJ’s on the morning show I listen to say that his doctor recommended that instead of drinking Diet Coke, to sip on regular Coke throughout the day.
