400 Calorie Fix
Talk-show host Rachael Ray debuted a new diet on her show last week – the 400 Calorie Fix. As the name suggests, this new diet (created by Prevention magazine’s editor-in-chief Liz Vaccariello) is based on calorie counting/controlling.
Inspired by a column in Prevention magazine, the basic gist of the diet is that you may only consume 4 meals a day, each consisting of 400 calories. So essentially you’re eating 1 600 calories a day, no more and no less.
“We show you how to eyeball foods, to read menus, so you’re not counting calories, you are controlling it,” Liz told Rachael on her show on Thursday. “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 41-year-old author of The Flat Belly Diet says she and her team arrived at the number after consulting with registered dietitians, who say 400 calories is enough for you to feel satiated, prevent those nasty cravings and still get your fix of healthy nutrients.
The 400 Calorie Fix doesn’t restrict you to certain foods, and in her new book, Liz shares a few foods you could eat to make the most of your 400 calories, which foods and words you need to look out for and what size portions should be.
