Anyone interested in managing weight while eating satisfying and nutritious foods can learn about a science-based way to accomplish those goals by attending an in-person six-part Penn State Extension workshop series.
“The Volumetrics Weigh of Life: Weight Management Plan” series will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on six consecutive Thursdays from January 22 through February 26, 2026, at the Penn State Extension, Lebanon County, 2120 Cornwall Rd, Suite 1, Lebanon, PA.
This award-winning program is designed for anyone interested in losing or maintaining weight while still eating satisfying amounts of food. Those who want to learn strategies to eat well for optimal health can also benefit from the plan.
The instructor will discuss fundamental weight management principles and emphasize sustainable eating patterns for lifelong weight management. Each of the six classes will provide calorie density lessons, food demonstrations, examples of Volumetrics food choices, and interactive learning opportunities through group discussions.
Participants will learn to:
- Think positively about what they can eat.
- Use science-based, sound nutritional advice to achieve and maintain weight management goals.
- Choose foods that control hunger and increase satiety.
- Modify recipes to incorporate the Volumetrics principles.
Attendees can register through January 20, 2026, for a fee of $40. Registration is required, and space is limited.
The program is based on the research of Barbara Rolls, Professor and Helen A. Guthrie Chair of Nutritional Sciences, Penn State.
