Are you like most people seeking the fastest way to lose weight? Aside from a long sickness or drug use, both of which are completely negative 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 fooling the body into remaining in a high metabolism, high burn mode even when fewer calories are consumed . The best thing about calorie shifting is that it can work to lose weight even if you don’t cut down on calories.

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

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

Are there issues? Of course, so here are some items to keep in mind. Calorie shifting diets are generally lacking in vegetables, calcium and fat. All are important elements of good health. Originally developed for cases of extreme obesity, calorie shifting was meant as a medical intervention.

In such cases the diet would be followed under careful medical scrutiny. For home use, that doesn’t occur. Finally, calorie shifting diets are short term, quick loss 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.

Moderation is required with diets as it is with most anything in life. Good for a short time, calorie shifting should not be extended 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.
