Developed by Donald Hensrud, M.D., the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid is based on the studies showing that both volume and weight of food play a role in feeling full. By choosing low-calorie energy-dense foods — large volume, large weight, but not many calories — you can still eat the same amount of food you're accustomed to eating and be full on fewer calories.
What the Mayo Clinic Says, "When you consume more foods that are low in energy density, it actually becomes more difficult to consume large amounts of calories. This promotes weight loss. Coupled with improved activity habits and behavior change, this approach focuses on improving health — and weight — over the long-term. This program emphasizes foods that are low in energy density: fruits and vegetables and healthier choices within each of the five food groups. Daily physical activity is emphasized for its role in both managing weight and improving health."
