Fastest way to lose weight

By Cath Night

Are you like most people searching the fastest way to lose weight? Calorie cycling may be the way to go unless you want to consider the ridiculous and completely negative methods of becoming seriously ill or using drugs.

Growing in popularity calorie cycling or calorie shifting is quickly becoming the way to go . Calorie shifting is a simple method that involves fooling the body into maintaining a high metabolism, high burn mode even when fewer calories are eaten.

It's been used for a long time by bodybuilders and athletes who have to hit weight without losing muscle . And it can work to shed pounds even if you don't cut down on calories, which is even better.

Here's how it goes. Shift the nutrients and calories taken in each day while keeping steady on the times you normally eat. It's a very simple diet to execute because it's a very well planned diet.

There are numerous on line sources that include clear explanations and menus for calorie shifting.

Are there pitfalls? Of course, so here are some things to keep in mind. This diet is low in vegetables, fat and calcium. All of those are necessary to a healthy body. Next, calorie shifting is a diet originally designed for cases of extreme obesity where medical intervention is required.

There would be a great deal of medical scrutiny along with this diet. That's not true when used at home. And keep in mind calorie cycling diets are quick weight loss, short time diets. It's likely that when you end the diet you'll return to the bad eating habits that caused the weight gain in the first place.

As with any diet, or really anything in life, moderation is required. Calorie shifting is fine for a short time, but shouldn't extend beyond a few days. As you've heard so many times with so many other diets, make it a part of an overall healthy living plan that includes good diet and lots of exercise. That way then the few days of calorie shifting is finished, the weight won't return and return you to square one. - 15266
