The Best Way To Eat - Shifting Calories

With all of the different diet and health information out there, it's easy to become lost in a sea of "This is better, that's better."

But the question still remains - What's the best way to eat when trying to lose weight?

In this author's opinion, the answer is calorie cycling (also known as shifting calories and zigzag diet).

The reason for this is because it's a completely natural and healthy way of losing weight. There are no pills, no patches, no restriction of food groups, and no gaining the weight back as soon as you stop this way of eating. All that one does with shifting calories is vary the amount of calories that they eat on a daily basis. It's simple enough, right?

Because the body can't get used to what it's being fed, it can't adjust accordingly, and it can't plateau. With other diets that have the same amount of food per day (for example, diets that say to stay under 35 grams of carbohydrates or to stay on a 1200 calorie diet), the body anticipates this ahead of time. Weight loss comes to a complete halt.

With calorie shifting, there's no anticipation on the body's end, and pounds continue to be melted off. This diet is also the best way to eat because it's so psychologically inviting. There are "cheat days", so people don't feel miserable and restricted. This is generally one of the biggest reasons why people quit diets in the first place. They have eating patterns that are not conducive to their normal way of life, and the "shock" of the change frustrates them.
