Volumetrics

haven't tried it myself, but it was ranked the #1 diet plan by Consumer Reports in their June '07 issue. the extreme thumbnail description is it aims to maximize the amount of food available per calorie, mainly through reduced fat products, vegetables, and low-fat cooking techniques. recent trials showed it has the best overall weight loss of the 8 popular diet plans they evaluated.
 
well you can say it is what I do, in part, with my paleo-like way of eating. When you remove all grain based foods, you remove a lot of calorie-dense, nutrient-poor food stuffs. Replacing these with fruits and vegetables, which are caloric-poor and nutrient rich,  as the sole carb-source, gives you a high volume of food to eat. Volumetrics, which I know little about and will never no much of it, involves subbing caloric dense foods with caloric poor foods, thus you need to eat a lot more. What it does with fats and proteins, I don´t know. I like alot of fat and protein in my nutritional protocol.
