Calorie Cycling And Its Effects

By Ron C

Are you like most people seeking 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 weight loss drugs.

Calorie cycling which is also know as calorie shifting is quickly becoming a well liked weight loss technique . Calorie shifting is an easy process that involves deceiving the body into remaining in a high metabolism, high burn mode even when fewer calories are consumed. It's been used for a long time by bodybuilders and athletes who have to hit weight without losing muscle . The great 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? Shift the nutrients and calories taken in each day while keeping uniform on the times you normally eat your meals. Because it's well mapped out in the beginning it's very easy to follow. There are various on line sources that include detailed explanations and menus for calorie shifting.

I wouldn't e doing you justice if i didn't let you know of a few precautions. Of course there are precautions as with any diets. Calorie shifting diets are typically lacking in vegetables, calcium and fat. All are important elements of a healthy body. Originally developed for cases of extreme obesity, calorie shifting was designed as a medical intervention. There would be a great deal of medical scrutiny along with this diet.

That's not true when used at home. Ultimately, calorie shifting diets are only for the short term, quick fat loss diets. Like many other reported diets you'll put the fat back on rapidly if you go back to your normal eating habits, as numerous people do.

Moderation is required with a lot of diets as it is with most anything in life. Calorie shifting is fine for the short term weight loss, but shouldn't go beyond a number of days. Also you really need to make certain it's followed to the letter in conjunction with an overall healthy eating plan and an exercise plan. That's a sure fire way not to regain the weight when the calorie shifting period ends. - 16650
