This is the first I've heard of this interesting approach. For me, the problem
is more psycological than any lack of information - i.e. going to a
nutritionist does not help.  I've always believed that some kind of plan
related directly to the weight of the food might be more successful - since
people can relate that to their own weight. For example, eating a pound (or
ounce) of butter will add a pound (or ounce) to your weight - and that may be
more of a motivation than knowing it is so many calories. (This is obtained,
roughly, by dividing the calories in a lb. of butter by 3500 - the amount of
calories one must consume to lose a pound.)

Drinking a pound of water will add essentially nothing to your weight in the
long run. And other things are in between. For example, I have a 1 lb box of
saltines that has a total of 2100 calories. Therefore, I will gain (about) 60%
of the lbs. of saltines that I eat. (2100/3500). So if I eat the whole box, I
will weigh .6*16 = 9.6 ounces more than I would have otherwise.

This kind of approach seems to me to be more meaningful than just looking at
calories.
