400 Calorie Fix, a book soon to be released in January 2010, is creating quite a stir. On Thursday, November 19th, a woman appeared on the Rachael Ray show, who has lost 6 pounds in two days while following the new diet. This is an encouraging statistic in anyone’s book and has sparked some interest. If you missed the show, you can watch the segment HERE.
Liz Vaccariello, Editor-in-Chief of Prevention magazine, and author of 400 Calorie Fix, explained to Rachael the idea behind the diet. She stated, “The 400 Calorie Fix was inspired by a column where we showed people how to eat four 400 calorie meals a day. We show you how to eyeball foods, to read menus, so you're not counting calories, you are controlling it. It's the easiest weight loss solution ever because it's one simple rule: you learn to see the world through a 400-calorie lens.”
The diet’s foundation is a flexible eating plan that allows for four, 400 calorie meals per day. There are no specific food restrictions, just portion control. The claim is that you can eat the foods you love and still lose weight. The diet works by keeping your body feeling satisfied throughout the day while allowing your metabolism to stay in working mode for a longer period of time.
Not only does the book provide guidelines for the 400 calorie limit, but also includes 400 ideas, tips and recipes that will benefit you whether you cook at home or eat on the run.
The author explains that the idea behind the specifics of the diet came from the recommendation of registered dietitians who say 400 is the amount of calories needed to stay satisfied and to provide enough nutrients to maintain health. Vaccariello states that the average American eats 2,700 calories per day, which for the average woman, is 1000 calories too many. Cutting out the extra 1000 calories will make an impact.
