Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Also, getting one's children to actually eat salad is not so simple!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 This reminds me of the volumetrics theory. I was often encouraged by Warren's posts on the various soups.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Maybe so, but my wife and I have noticed we fill up a lot quicker than we used to from any food. If I'm at a Chinese buffet, one small plate is all I can comfortably eat and it's not a satiety thing. Hard to imagine a "stomach" shrinking thing. Try eating a pound of raw spinach with no water. There's something there - I'm not quite sure what it is.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 >>This reminds me of the volumetrics theory. The study was done by Barbara Rolls the author of the book Volumetrics. One and the same. The same has been shown for either consuming a bowl of vegetable soup and also for eating a grapefruit before meals reducing total caloric intake.
