How Can I Lose Weight?

Many people find themselves asking, at least at one point throughout their life, "How Can I Lose Weight?" While there are many answers, one very effective one is via calorie cycling.

Calorie cycling, also known as zigzag dieting or the shifting calories method, is where one switches up the amount of calories that they eat on a daily basis. Other methods of dieting, such as low calorie or low carbohydrate, work short term, but eventually the body figures out what's happening and plateaus. While shifting calories, one achieves absolute control over their body.

To calorie cycle, one needs to figure out how many calories that they would eat on a low calorie diet, multiply it by seven, and then spread the calories out throughout the week. For example, if they were planning on eating 1800 calories a day, they would multiply 1800 by 7 (12,600) and then break those calories up throughout the week.

For example, their calorie allotments might go like this:

Monday - 1800

Tuesday - 2000

Wednesday - 1600

Thursday - 2000

Friday - 1700

Saturday - 1900

Sunday - 1500

Not only is this very effective physically speaking, but it's very beneficial psychologically as well. Because people have both high and low days, they don't feel as restricted as with normal diets. They might not like their low calorie days, but they know that high calorie days are coming, so they can look forward to them. With normal low calorie diets, people don't have any "light at the end of the tunnel", and are generally unhappy.

Because of this, calorie cycling has much longer retention and success rates than other diets.

How Does Calorie Cycling Help Me Lose Weight?

A brand new way to lose weight has been hitting airwaves all over the United States.

This diet, called "calorie cycling", allows people to effectively lose large amounts of weight in short periods of time. But before you dismiss it as a fad diet, read on.
This way of eating teaches people to switch up the amount of calories that they eat day-to-day. By doing this, their body can never figure out how many calories are coming into it (as is often the case with low calorie or low carbohydrate diets), and therefore it can't adjust... or plateau.

The diet actually enforces cheat days and says that it wouldn't be successful without it.

Rachel Rofe, calorie cycling expert, explains that our bodies are used to this way of eating. During the cavemen era, our ancestors would have to go hungry for days at a time. Whenever they got the opportunity to eat, they would binge in order to stay satisfied until the next time they had the opportunity to eat.

Cheat days are similar to the days that our ancestors fasted. Because the metabolism never expects these days, it can never adjust to a certain way of eating, and the body is literally forced to continue dropping unwanted pounds.

Because people get to have these cheat days where they can literally eat anything they want, psychologists heartily recommend this diet. They love that dieters don't need to feel deprived or malnourished. Doctors love it because it's a natural way to lose weight without people having to deprive themselves of nutrients, food groups, or even "bad" food.

Because calorie cycling is much easier to stick to than a typical weight loss plan, it has a much larger retention rate than many of the other diets.
