In the end, the strategy many of us have been using — labeling some foods as evil and others as good — may be part of what’s undermined repeated attempts at weight loss, according to a new in-depth analysis of diets and dieting by a panel of nutrition experts published in this month’s issue of Consumer Reports.
The new report rated eight diet plans based on the results of clinical trials and critiqued seven popular diet books based on the quality of the meal plans, ease of use, whether they incorporated exercise and the validity of the nutritional science. A relative newcomer, Volumetrics, scored the highest among the diet plans for helping dieters lose the most weight. Although the regimen, which emphasizes low energy-density foods such as bulky veggies, spawned the book “The Volumetrics Eating Plan,” it’s lumped with diet plans, not books, because it is based on experiments and scientific evidence. Volumetrics is followed by the big-name calorie-counting plans Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and Slim-Fast.
