Volumetrics and Vegetables

{prepping a volumetrics recipe- lots of veggies!}
We've been trying to eat healthier here at home, and have been using a lot of recipes from Dr. Barbara Roll's "The Volumetrics Eating Plan". It focuses on food with low energy density - or low calories per gram. Lots and lots of vegetables and whole grains! 

So far we've loved the Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich, Chicken and Avocado Pita Pockets, and Bulgur & Vegetable Stuffed Peppers. Husband requested the Buffalo Chicken Wraps for Father's Day. He loved them, but as I'm not such a fan of hot sauce and blue cheese dressing so not a hit for me!

Have you ever tried Volumetrics recipes? And I wish I could say our kids loved these meals, but they for the most part don't.

  4. I went on a 3 week clense a few months ago and have never felt better! My hubby wants healthier eating around here too! We do not do a ton of sugar or white bread but pizza gets me every time! I love cheese! I am off to check out the 'Volumetrics eating plan' now. Happy Wednesday... -Ann

  5. Ann- I did get the pics of your house! Thank you!

    I adore pizza, too - we made the "Aristotle Pizza" from the Volumetrics Eating Plan and it was really good! Of course, we made a second traditional pizza for the kids that night!
