Volumetrics is more than just a diet--it's a long-term approach to healthy eating. As such, it can often feel challenging to stay on course. Using a message board to discuss Volumetrics with others online is an excellent way to find support. It can even provide you with a location to find new recipes and friends.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

    Find an Appropriate Message Board

  1. Step 1

    Read "The Volumetrics Eating Plan" to educate yourself before you post messages (see Resources below). Even if you are posting to ask a question, you may receive a more helpful answer if you school yourself on the basics before you post.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare your message offline to address your concerns thoughtfully or ask your questions in a respectful way.

  3. Step 3

    Use BoardReader.com to search for related message boards with search words, messages or topics on Volumetrics, weight control, dieting and fitness (see Resources below).

  4. Step 4

    Read the message board or blog before you post a message or comment. "Lurking," to familiarize yourself with any community before you become an active participant, helps you observe its etiquette and stay on topic.

  5. Step 5

    Protect your privacy as you post messages about Volumetrics by using an online handle that allows anonymity. You should assume that anything you post on an online message board or blog will live permanently online.

  6. Start Your Own Participatory Blog on Volumetrics

  7. Step 1

    Plan your own unofficial blog on the Volumetrics eating and weight control plan to encourage potential participants to share experiences, recipes and mutual support.

  8. Step 2

    Create a free blog account at Blogger.com and start posting messages on Volumetrics immediately (see Resources below).

  9. Step 3

    Manage your blog regularly to ensure that posted responses stay on topic and that they continually encourage individuals using Volumetrics to lose weight.

Tips & Warnings
  • For more online anonymity, create a new free email account when signing up to a message board. This will allow you to sort personal and forum messages, while also protecting your identity.
  • Beyond your name and email, joining a message board should never require you to provide more personal information. If a message board ever asks you for a credit card, avoid it and look for a new one.
