It’s a sad fact of life: Millions of people all over the world are obese, and millions have tried different diets. Unfortunately most of these people have been sadly disappointed in finding that the diet does not work quite like they’d hoped. The pounds just won’t stay off.
A calorie shifting diet plan is the solution to your problem. What makes one so different from a traditional diet? To answer that, you have to understand why the diets you tried previously failed - because your own body worked against you.
Traditional diets all involve to some extent or another depriving your body of the calories and nutrients it needs to operate. They attempt to force your body to use up its fat to stay functioning. This approach can simply never work. Starving is painful - your body breaks down muscle to stay alive before fat, and after some time has passed anyone and everyone starving themselves will break down and eat.
Then of course, eventually you will start eating again - usually reverting back to your old patterns. Now things get really ugly. Your body still thinks there’s a food shortage, and so as soon as you start eating, it starts converting more food into fat than ever before. It does this so that in the future, it won’t be caught off guard again without a sufficient fat supply. So now, the result of your diet is more fat and less muscle. And you likely feel guilty because of your “failure” on top of it all!
Calorie shifting effectively takes on these weaknesses associated with traditional dieting. With a calorie shifting program, instead of three daily meals, you eat four or five smaller ones during the course of the day. You eat the foods you like and alternate them with lower-fat ones. The key to making this work is to keep mixing things up: different foods with different calorie amounts all the time.
When you eat, you do so until you get rid of the hunger pangs, but stop eating while you’re still just a bit hungry. You want your body to always be guessing about what’s coming next, and never completely deciding that it needs to go into starvation mode (wherein it would again begin consuming muscle tissue). You want it to instead consume fat to replace the energy its lost from the missing calories.
The net effect is that you are able to stay on the diet since you aren’t starving yourself, while preventing any muscular damage by letting your body use its fat stores instead of muscle tissues to make up for the lower calorie intake.
Of course, a diet of any kind is not the only part of losing weight. You will want to couple it with regular exercise. Start small, perhaps just taking a brisk walk each day, adding time and distance each day. Maybe eventually you’re feel comfortable adding in a few calisthenics or even a trip to the gym. A calorie-shifting diet actually works quite well with most exercise programs. Whereas with traditional dieting, there are some risks associated with exercising, calorie shifting already takes that into consideration.
Calorie shifting is an approach to weight loss that keeps food enjoyable yet nutrious, and makes it easier to lose the pounds and then keep them off. It’s something that anyone serious about long-term weight loss should consider.
