Calorie shifting - this newer approach towards successful weight loss has changed the way we were used to reduce our weight. No crash dieting is required, not even any kind of exercise regimen. You will continue to lose weight as long as you want. No physical labor is involved. Sounds good? Then let us discuss what is calorie shifting and how it works.
Calorie shifting is basically to ‘fool’ your system of metabolism. Normally, your body slows down its metabolic processes to save energy in case you reduce your calorie intake or go on fasting. Thus energy burning in the form of fat is also reduced. In calorie shifting, you will take foods of approximately the same amount for a couple of weeks. This will make your system accustomed to a certain level of calorie. Now you will have to up-shift the calorie intake for 2-3 days. Your body takes it as a high calorie state and increase the pace of all the metabolic reactions. This is done to maintain the calorie homeostasis inside your body. Now you play the real trick. You will suddenly drop this extra calorie and go to the normal calorie intake level. Your body will not be able to judge this rapid shift in calorie inputs and continue to burn in high pace. Thus, instead of eating a balanced and normal diet, you will go on losing weight. You can cycle this up-shift and down-shift as long as you want to lose weight. By adopting calorie shifting, you can lose up to 11 pounds in just 2 weeks time.
Four meals in a day is the recommended schedule in calorie shifting. Your food will come from all the food groups in the food pyramid. Tea time snacks are allowed. You must take plenty of water as long as you are continuing calorie shifting.
There is no need to go for an extensive exercise schedule. Occasional brisk walking and light jogging are more than sufficient.
I hope now you have an idea about what is calorie shifting. Calorie shifting can change the way we were talking weight loss techniques. Numerous people around the world have seen its magical effects. You want to miss this charm?

You are eating as much as you want and you are losing weight considerably. Don’t laugh at this line. I am not cutting any joke. Yes, most certainly you will lose weight by taking calorie shifting foods. This is the most recent and most scientific way to lose weight man has ever discovered.
Calorie shifting is a way by which you play a trick to your own physiological system. When you cut down your food, all the metabolic processes are slowed down to reserve some energy for future use. Thus you will not lose weight as expected. In calorie shifting, you will continuously change the amount and type of foods you are taking daily. Thus the system won’t be able to calculate the exact amount of calories you require for your needs. After that, you will increase the amount of food intake for 2-3 days. You system will suddenly be flooded with calories and the calorie burning systems will gear up to neutralize these extra calories. Then you will down-shift the calorie intake for 5-6 days. Your system will not be able to accommodate itself to this rapid shift and continue to burn calorie in that supercharged mode. Thus you will lose calories.
Now you must be thinking what those calorie shifting foods are. You need not worry. All are those very foods that you are used to take regularly. No special diet plan, no special food supplements.
Calorie shifting foods should come from all the levels of food pyramid. At the bottom of it remain the cereals, breads and pasta group. You must take them as much as possible. It is better to take the whole grain cereal than those polished white cereals. The whole grain cereals retain the complete nutrition of that particular food. As they become polished, nutritional value reduces. Green leafy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage contain much amount of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. You have to take a fruit daily while going on calorie shifting food. Avoid red meat. Take white meat like chicken and turkey. Dairy items should be low in fat. But occasional intake is allowed in calorie shift food. Oils you will be using should contain MUFA (Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acid) and PUFA (Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acid) instead of using saturated fat like butter and cheese.
Occasional tea, coffee and snacks are allowed in calorie shifting food group, but the milk should be low in fat content.
