What Is Calorie Shifting?
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.
But we can get away from the hype with no results programs by looking to a natural diet plan that actually works called the "calorie shifting diet". This plan doesn't disrupt your system by making you sweat fat off or purge food artificially out of your body after have eaten it. But what it does do is to use a natural approach to balance and harmony in not only what calories you can eat but in when you eat them to use the metabolism the way it was designed to work to keep you thin and healthy.
The great thing is this diet plan is that it doesn't require you to drastically cut calorie intake. Instead you just schedule when you will eat smaller meals throughout the day and you shift what kind of calories to eat at different times so the foods you eat work together for a natural diet result. You can eat all you want and not give up the foods you love or ever feel hungry and not only achieve better and longer lasting weight loss goals than you could with any of those other programs.
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.
When a diet plan already has the causes of failure programmed into the system, it is doomed to fail. Atkins, for example, is too harsh and difficult to be sustained by the average dieter who is also busy having a life. So when it naturally becomes impossible to live up to the Atkins expectations, people fall off the plan and the only thing you get back from all your hard work is more guilt. Diets based on eliminating fats from the diet also naturally fail because our bodies crave those food groups and those cravings only get worse as the diet continues. You might lose some initial weight but when that stops, you lose faith that the program will work and naturally give up. Low calorie or calorie control programs like Weight Watchers also depend on community enthusiasm to make you overlook that emptiness feeling that going without good foods causes. That can work for a while but if the program stalls out, many people fall off the program and have another diet failure in their past.
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.
Clearly the genius of the calorie shifting diet plan is that it uses calories to help you lose weight rather than makes you live without good foods. Instead of starving yourself, you change your schedule of eating in a scientific way so the same calories you love to eat are enjoyed at different times over four smaller meals each day so the way you combine calorie groups works to reduce fat and excess weight the way nature intended it to happen. Your responsibility is to simply make a few changes in number of meals you eat so you eat more often and to "shift" the calories around from meal to meal so each time you dine, you are giving your body something new to work on. So you might have a hamburger for breakfast, bacon and eggs for lunch, fish for mid day meal and stir fry dinner and then change that all around tomorrow. By using this unique approach to diet, the real value is that it actually works to make you lose weight and because it's natural, the weight stays off. And that is why you diet after all, isn't it?
