Fastest way to lose weight

By Cath Night

Are you like most people searching the fastest way to lose weight? Aside from a long sickness or drug use, both of which are completely ridiculous ways to lose weight, calorie cycling may be the way to go.

Growing in popularity calorie cycling or calorie shifting is quickly becoming the way to go . Long used by bodybuilders and other athletes who have to make weight without losing strength or muscle, calorie shifting is a simple method that involves tricking the body into remaining in a high metabolism, high burn mode even when fewer calories are eaten . And it can work to shed pounds even if you don't cut down on calories, which is even better.

How does it work? Every day eat at the same times, but vary the nutrients or calories consumed. It's a very simple diet to follow because it's a very well planned diet.

Many on line sources include clear instructions and calorie shifting menus.

Now for a few warnings. Of course there are warnings. This diet is low in vegetables, fat and calcium. All of those are necessary to a healthy body. Originally developed for cases of extreme obesity, calorie shifting was meant as a medical intervention.

There would be a great deal of medical supervision along with this diet. That's not true when used at home. Finally, calorie shifting diets are short term, quick loss diets. Like other such diets you'll put the weight back on quickly if you go back to the regular eating habits, and most people do.

As with any diet, or really anything in life, moderation is required. Calorie shifting is fine for the short term, 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. - 16003
