The latest diet fad sweeping the globe is calorie shifting. The idea behind calorie shifting is that if you are constantly changing your caloric intake, as well as the foods you eat and when you eat them, you will confuse your body into burning more of the calories for energy rather than storing them as fat for later use.
The body loves to have reserves in case of starvation. It is in our genes, passed down from our ancestors. Our bodies are terrified of starvation, so they desperately try to store as may extra calories as possible for later use. Unfortunately, the extra calories are stored as fat.
If you normally consume 2,000 calories a day, your body learns how to best use those 2,000 calories. You decide to diet and drop your calorie intake to 1,200 calories a day. You will lose weight, but your body will figure out how to best use those calories and keep some back. Your body is smart and will naturally attempt to thwart weight loss. The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet may be able to help.
