The main aim of the Calorie Shifting Diet is to increase your metabolic rate so it starts burning fat. If you continually eat low calorie foods your bodies metabolism keeps getting slower and slower, going into ‘Starvation Mode’. When in this ‘Starvation Mode’ the body burns little to no fat as it saves it for future use. On the flip side, when you continually eat high calorie foods your bodies metabolic rate increases dramatically, burning extra fat.

What you will typically do on a Calorie Shifting Diet does is eat low calorie foods just until your metabolism starts to slow. Once this point is reached you will have a high calorie day, just to fool your body into keeping it’s metabolic rate high.

This ‘Calorie Shifting‘ has quite a few benefits over a regular low calorie diet. Apart from the rapid fat loss, the main one is that you get to indulge on high calorie food once every few days. This is where a lot of people on low calorie diets become ‘unstuck’. They have a few days on the diet, only to become lethargic and have no energy. This causes them to give up and start eating how they once did. The Diet prevents this by not just ‘allowing’ you to eat high calorie foods on certain days, but making it a necessity.

Calorie Shifting Diets are extremely popular at the moment so they are hard to ignore. They certainly appeal to a large audience, and seem to be a lot more bearable than a traditional low calorie diet. If you are after fast fat loss while minimizing the chance of giving up, this may be the perfect diet for you.
