The Calorie Shifting Diet Guide

All of us want to lose weight but wouldn’t it be nice if that could be done without having to endure a diet that makes you have to limit your food to just salads and soups forever and to constantly have to feel hungry all the time? Now that would be a diet we could stick with. And if you were to believe the hundreds of TV advertisements for exotic pills and programs to help us reduce weight, they have the mystery solution to our dieting woes. But sadly, they don’t.

Most of us are smart enough not to buy into some unrealistic diet plan like that, although it’s ok if we have tried a few just to prove they don’t work. What we find out is that there are a lot of problems that come with those expensive diet pills. They seem to be of two types. They either make your metabolism run like a freight train so you sweat and quiver which causes fat to fall off or they do weird things to your digestive track so (in theory) fats are pushed on through causing your insides to feel like you have the flu. Both of these solutions make you feel slightly ill and on edge which would be fine except they also don’t usually do anything more than cause slight weight loss that comes right back.

There is one diet plan that is not a commercial scam and not some diet of excess and starvation that has not gotten enough notice and that is the calorie shifting diet. This plan doesn’t alter your insides to somehow make fat fall off of your belly or out of your insides the hard way. It is actually based on a scientifically research approach to diet that uses a balance of when you consume calories and in what proportions to stimulate your metabolism naturally to help the weight come off.

The great thing about calorie shifting is you don’t have to cut calories or stop eating good foods you like. You can keep you favorite foods but just shift when you eat them by spreading your calorie types over several small meals. The result is you enjoy the foods you love, get all you want to eat and you never have to endure that feeling of being deprived that is the cornerstone of most diets.

The problem with deprivation diets is that they take something out of the normal food your body expects to get so you begin to miss that food. The outcome is while you may stick with the diet for some period of time while the weight is falling off, at some point you get tired of that feeling of going without and you give in and enjoy the eliminated food and gain the weight back. The problem isn’t you. The problem is this is not a natural or realistic way to lose weight.

The major diet plans that everybody seems to like are almost recipes for failure eventually which is probably what keeps them in business. Atkins is such a strict plan that it’s really hard for people to stick with it week after week. And that results in guilt when you want to succeed at Atkins but you find yourself secretly sneaking foods that are not allowed. The same is true of diets that emphasize low fat intake because we want those things and that leads to yearnings. As soon as the diet fails to live up to expectations, it’s tempting to run back to our comfort foods. Low calorie diets like Weight Watchers creates a whole new hobby for you to track and record your foods and the outcome is very slow weight loss and frequent plateaus which makes it easy to get discouraged as well.

It is for these reasons that a diet that causes the metabolism to naturally accelerate due to the right combinations and changes in the caloric intake of each meal works so well. A well tuned calorie shifting diet is effective because it causes the metabolism to naturally consume fat so you get thinner and lose weight in a way that doesn’t lead to the reaction to gain it back. And this diet is something you want to stay on because it lets you eat the foods you love in different proportions at different meals around the clock. And it does all this without costly pills or programs that can dominate your schedule, your health and your budget.

The beauty of this diet plan is you don’t cut calories at all. You simply organize your food intake in a systematic way so the calories are scattered across four meals a day which causes your body to naturally lose weight. The meal programs “shift” different food groups around different times of the day so one day you might have bacon and eggs for lunch and a steak for breakfast and the next day pancakes for dinner and fish for breakfast. But the important thing about this plan is that it works, its works naturally and it’s something you can stick with and lose weight over a period of time and keep it off. And that’s what it’s all about.
