If you are one of the millions of people around the world suffering from obesity, then you have probably tried all sorts of different diet plans in an attempt to get the weight off. If any of them had worked, you probably wouldn't be reading this article.
But help has arrived for these folks: It's a revolutionary dieting technique known as calorie shifting. Whereas most diets fail to take into account certain natural tendencies of the body, the calorie shifting diet does recognize these tendencies, and uses them to your advantage.
Here's how most diets try to get rid of your unwanted pounds. At their core, they starve the body, thus robbing it of calories needed to give the body the energy it needs to run. Hopefully by doing this, the body will instead make use of the body's fat to provide energy. There's just one problem: The body's natural tendency is to consume muscle tissue before it will consume fat.
The problem is that your body is in emergency mode, and all that food you eat gets stored as - you guessed it, fat. So the total effect of these starvation diets is a loss of muscle tissues, more excess fat than before, and a feeling of failure because you couldn't overcome your basic survival instincts.
A calorie shifting diet plan attempts both to address these problems and create a new method of weight management. These diet plans work by breaking your daily food intake down into 4 or 5 small meals spaced throughout the day. You eat a balanced diet of good foods - no need for the 'diet' or 'lite' products - and lose weight. The secret is to eat these specially chosen menus of food without sticking to any one type for too long.
Feel free to eat until you're no longer uncomfortably famished. However, never eat until you're full. The whole point is to make your body have to continue to adjust to the foods you eat, all the while causing it to tap into your fat reservoirs to replace the energy that you're stealing from it in the form of calories.
Most people report a couple of important results with this kind of diet. They tend to stick with the diet longer because it never gets old and they never feel starved, and also, they don't have the loss in muscle tissue, losing fat instead.
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.
