Why Calorie Shifting Makes it Easy to Lose Weight

     Alright, you've probably heard of your share of diet plans...

Let's face it, the majority of them never live up to the hype; they simply don't work very well.

Most diets either leave you fealing tired, miserable, or just plain hungry for more food; and what's the point of that? To lose a few pounds and then just pack them back on a few weeks later...

There must be a better way right? There are definitely some health and weight loss break throughs coming in the near future, some are here already.

I'm not really talking about diet pills either; I mean all natural ways to lose weight.

One of the more popular ways now-a-days is what's known as the calorie shifting diet.

What this diet does is allows you to eat really whatever you want, within reason of course and shifts the calories around from day to day so that metabolism speeds up causing you to lose weight.

Calorie shifting is sometimes frowned upon by other dieting gurus because it takes their teachings and basically turns it on its head.

Diet experts don't want to hear about low calorie, low fat, and low carb diets not working... The fact of the matter is... Most diets simply don't get the job done.

Yeah, you're probably going to lose a little bit of weight in the beginning... But the major problem is keeping it off and those diet plans just do not carry the long term change that's needed for your body to keep off all of the weight.

This is why calorie shifting is so popular; you can take the diet at your own pace, whatever you feel comfortable with... And you never have to deprive yourself of nutrients or feel tired; you don't even have to exercise although it is always recommended that you try to stay somewhat active.

The problem with low calorie, low fat, low carb, and whatever other low "something" diets are out there, is the fact that starving only leads to problems...

When your body feels deprived your metabolsim slows down to store energy... The slower your metabolsim the easier it is to gain weight.

Secondly, when you deprive yourself of food the weight you lose is usually more muscle than actual fat, which is definitely not a good thing for your overall health.

As you can see, it's vitally important that you give your body the nutrients it needs, just do it in a smart way so that your metabolsim speeds up or "Gets confused" so that you lose more weight faster.

So calorie shifting diets can work great as long as you know your 10 simple rules.
