The Volumetrics Eating Plan, a new weight-loss trend sweeping the nation, is winning people over with its "eat more" agenda.
Unlike diets that revolve around depriving their followers, the Volumetrics eating plan doesn't hold you back when craving a certain type of food.
Its creator, nutritionist Barbara Rolls, PhD, argues that limiting your diet too severely won't work in the long run. You'll just wind up hungry and unhappy and go back to your old ways, according to WebMD.
It's all a matter of calorie intake, says the doctor.
"By choosing foods that have fewer calories per bite, your portion size grows, but your overall calorie count decreases," Rolls, author of the new book "The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet," told CNN. "So you end up with a satisfying amount of food."

Rolls, a professor of nutritional sciences at the Pennsylvania State University, has spent the last 20 years studying the science of satiety -- that feeling of fullness at the end of a meal - and the affects that it has on hunger and obesity.
According to the Rolls's research, the amount of food that we take in has a greater effect on how full we feel than the number of calories in the food.
So when speaking in terms of the Volumetrics eating plan, the trick of it is to fill up on foods that aren't full of calories.
A guideline that makes the Volumetrics eating plan so popular with the general public is that that it doesn't ban food types, as many other diet plans do.
