The Vegan Diet How-To Guide for Diabetes
Step 5. Volumetrics
Here is an optional step that can help with weight control. It
was pioneered by Barbara Rolls, a researcher at Penn State University.
The idea is to eat foods that have fewer calories than grams per
serving. Take a look at the label from a package of carrots below.
There are 45 calories per 85 grams of food. Since 45 is a smaller
number than 85, this means the food is a high-volume, low-calorie
food.
Try adding lots of soups, salads, and foods cooked in water (like
oatmeal) to your daily diet. These “heavy” foods will
make you fill up without taking in a lot of calories.
