What Is Calorie Shifting?

By: Marie Wilson. Wouldn't it be great if somehow a diet came along that wasn't all about eating rabbit food and feeling starved to death constantly? No doubt about it, that would be a program we all would go for. We all have heard diet program pitches on TV that if we buy some expensive diet pills, they will change our digestive systems so the fat melts off while we eat anything we want whenever we want it.

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.

You don't reduce calories or give up anything with this diet. Instead you alter the timing of your food and the type of calories you eat at each small meal so you get all you want to eat, don't have to give up your favorite foods and never have to go through that feeling of being hungry all the time that is so common with most diets.

The issue that comes with most popular diets is they call for you to deprive yourself of something you crave which means at some point, you are going to go back to that food. While you will do all you can to live without that food group for as long as you can, when the motivation goes away or the results are not realized, we lose heart and return to our old ways and gain the weight back. We blame ourselves but the real failure is in how those diet plans are designed.

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.
