Well you might or you might not lose fat on a calorie shifting diet
(depending on your ability to commit) but a calorie shifting diet is
much more logical than starving yourself on a crash diet.
If you
follow the simple principles of a calorie shifting diet and get some
regular brisk exercise you will lose fat and keep it off.
There
are some forms of dieting you should never embark on; diets that take
you under 1000 calories a day; diets that promise a miracle fast fat
loss when you eat only a specific fruit or drink; diets that advise you
not to exercise - they are all trouble.
They may "work" very short term but medium and long term, fad diets are for the foolish desperado.
A
calorie shifting diet, conversely, works on sound principles. The main
concept is that you should not let your body get into the habit of
expecting the same type of meal at the same time of day.
At least
4 meals a day with a varied calorie intake is the plan. This speeds up
your metabolism and you'll burn more fat, just like you will if you
vary your aerobic or resistance exercise program every few weeks.
Otherwise, your cunning body adapts and conserves food energy in the
form of body fat.
If you can afford 5-10 minutes a day to plan
your next day's food intake, you will have no problems with a calorie
shifting diet. Also the more food you can prepare in advance, the
better.
Knowing what you are going to eat for the day is an
excellent way to avoid snacking on junk food. It's just a matter of
getting used to being organized and following through.
So, yes you really can lose fat on a calorie shifting diet. |
