Wonder if anyone got a chance to read article in Newsweek on 'new' diet (I think i have heard of it a while back..but not sure) that's being researched which focuses more on density of calories consumed....stressing importance of eating low calorie dense foods...to find this value you simply divide the total calorie value by the weight in grams...the foods that this diet recommends are those that have a 1 to 2 ratio in terms of calories to weight of the food and avoiding with those that have less than 1 to 1 ratio(fatty foods, junk foods, etc)....thus stressing fruits, vegetables, low fat cheeses, low fat poultry, etc....thus creating satiety with more dense foods and less calories...
just wanted to know what everyone thinks about it....

Sounds like another diet that miraculously uses the same principles as a healthy lifestyle, disguised with a different name and method of calculation.....

maybe.....but if it makes it easier for people to make healthy nutritional choices so why not?...I wish these numbers would be printed on the packaging...b/c I know most people won't bother calculating these things....

I am not saying i am against it, I just think it is interesting that most new 'miracle' diets that come along are just versions of basic bodybuilding diets - low or healthy fats, higher protein, more veggies and whole foods... South Beach, Perricone, The Zone, Body-for-life, Volumetrics.. basically the same ideas, presented a little differently.
I think if it gets even one person to change their lifestyle/food choices/thinking than it is a good program.

I think people on this diet will end up making similar mistakes to those on traditional "low-fat" diets, and end up avoiding some really good, healthy foods, like nuts, oily fish, etc.
