review 1: Vaccariello does a great job of actually showing you portion sizes and explaining how to eat better/healthier junk food, restaurant food, frozen food, etc. while losing weight. The 400 calorie aspect is kind of gimmicky, but it's easier than following most other diets. If you can manage to keep each meal around 400 calories you'll do well. It's a lot less math than trying to keep track of all of your daily calories.
review 2: I kind of feel bad about giving this book 2 stars because I'm trying to get into the concept of smaller meals throughout the day and the 400 calorie fix offers an easy approach, but I thought it was just ok. There is lots of insightful information about how to view 400 calories and the cheat sheets for eating out are helpful (though I don'... moret eat fast food that much), but I was mostly disappointed with the recipes. I made two of the crockpot recipes (turkey meatloaf & black bean soup) and they came out edible but not memorable; sadly, the recipes section seemed more for amateurs and people just starting to cook for themselves. This was a fun browse, the pictures and graphs are visually pleasing, but this is not a book I'd rely on for recipes. less
