Lose Weight With Calorie Shifting

Citraxin - Lose Weight While You Sleep

Calorie shifting or calorie cycling has become a popular way to diet for people who don’t like to follow conventional weight loss programs.  This weight loss method is so powerful that you really don’t need to follow a strict diet regimen to see results.  This diet has been used by body builders for years as a way to quickly reduce their body fat without starving.

Calorie shifting is a way to naturally speed up your metabolism, causing quicker weight loss than traditional calorie cutting methods.  The theory is simple:  calorie shifting works because your body must adapt your metabolism to the way you eat.  Since most people eat the same way everyday, their metabolism never gets fired up to burn off more fat.

With calorie shifting, you’ll vary your amount of calories everyday.  When you do this, your body is constantly trying to adjust for the change and will keep your metabolism high and burning fat.  You will be tricking your body into thinking you aren’t on a diet, because you’ll be eating high calories one day and low calories the next, so your body will not try to store calories as it would if you were on a constant low calorie diet.

For example, if you wanted to create a 400 calorie deficit a day, you would reduce your total calories in a week by 2800 calories.  If  you typically eat 2500 calories a day to maintain your weight, then you could cycle your calories as shown below to create the 2800 weekly deficit:

Sunday:   2300 calories
Monday:   1800 calories
Tuesday:  2400 calories
Wednesday: 2000 calories
Thursday: 2300 calories
Friday:   1800 calories
Saturday: 2100 calories

Keep in mind, this is only an example.  The calories you’ll need to maintain your weight per day, and the deficit you will create will vary.

If you plan to start on this diet plan, remember that you should still be eating nutrient-rich foods to keep your body healthy.  A diet that varies your calories is not a license to eat whatever you want on your high days.  Other factors also come into play, such as the amount of sugar you are consuming along with other unhealthy ingredients in most fast and pre-packaged foods.

Although this diet may take extra work when trying to plan out your meals, it is well worth the effort.  You should see noticeable results in about a week if you create a calorie deficit.
