There is a new diet regimen that is gaining popularity across the world known as the calorie shifting meal plan. As the name implies, it is a diet based on the theory that shifting your calories from meal to meal, from day to day, will trigger the appropriate metabolic response that will induce fat burning and thus rapid weight loss.

Calorie shifting differs from other diet regimens in that you are not restricting the quantity or the types of food that you eat. You can eat as much as you want from all four food groups while you are on this diet. The only caveat is that you must group your calories together in accordance with the pattern that is most conducive to fat loss.

Technology has definitely spoiled us a little bit hasn’t it? These days we are able to get so many things very quickly. We expect instant gratification from any effort we start and projects that take a long time to complete are no longer desirable.

While instant gratification is definitely well deserved, we still have to work at losing fat. In the virtual world it usually takes a click of the mouse to get what we want. However, in the physical world we must do much more. This is why people look towards quick fix diets as a solution to lose fat.

If you are thinking about losing weight
using a meal replacement program make
sure you read all of the following article
before you make your decision.

Let me first start off by saying that meal
replacement diets are definitely not for
everyone. They can get very intense
at times. Not only are they good for
losing weight, but they are also good
for disciplining yourself because let me
tell you, if you can allow your self to go
through with it for 28 days, then you will
definitely be able to see will power that
you never knew you had. It’s tough, but
if you feel you can go through with it,
kudos to you.

As I was driving to the gym today to take a workout for myself (1st in almost 8 days which took about 12 minutes) I was thinking of a conversation that I had with one of my new phone clients about diet and exercise.

Sergio is a truck driver and he used to be in shape when younger… but not lately. In assessing his needs and what he is trying to accomplish, Sergio had some interesting questions and commentary.

Thousands of people across the world have found success by shifting calories to lose weight. A viable alternative to the more well-known low-carb, low-calorie, and low-fat diets, calorie shifting is gaining popularity as a serious contender in the world of rapid weight loss solutions.

Unlike the other “restriction” diets, where you must restrict your carbs, restrict your calories, and restrict your fats, the calorie shifting diet allows you to eat as much food as you want from each of the four food groups. You will never find yourself starving or hungry as you might on a calorie-counting diet, because you can eat as much food as you want until you are satisfied. You will never find yourself feeling deprived of a food due to cravings you might have for foods laden with carbohydrates, because you can eat as many proteins, carbohydrates, and fats as you want.

I promised a simple menu for a client that continues to work hard taking two steps forward at training but falls back three steps - through her eating habits - and finds no gain is accomplished.

In fact, most of us struggle with the same issue. I encourage people to make a selection and commit to a nutritional support program that you can live with - daily - for at least two months and then stand back and see the results of your work. For example, my website provides a link to eDiets which provides an array of diet and nutrition choices. Pick one, sign up and work with it.
