Calorie Shifting - How I Lost 30lbs In 30 Days With NO Exercise

Calorie Shifting - How I Lost 30lbs In 30 Days With NO Exercise
Calorie shifting is a hot issue when it comes to rapid
weight loss ideas. I've been getting many emails asking how
I lost so much weight using Calorie Shifting so I am
writing this article in an FAQ style with some of the most
commonly asked questions you guys have sent in.

What is Calorie Shifting In A Nutshell?

The concept of calorie shifting is simple although
implementing it may not be as easy without some practice or
guidance. Suppose you were eating 2500 calories per day on
average and this was your normal caloric intake. What
happens is your body "expects" and anticipates receiving
2000 calories per day. So what you would do is the next day
eat say 1500 calories for a few days and your body tries to
adjust by burning more fat for energy. Then you would use
calorie shifting again and up your calorie intake. This
tricks your metabolism into maintaining a metabolic rate
conducive for fat loss.

Why Does This Work Better Than If I Just Cut My Calories In
Half Or Something?

Great questions. That's what I used to do when I was
exercising is just exercise and cut my calories way down.
What happens here is you will actually lose weight for a
short time but your body becomes "accustomed" to the low
calorie intake and says to itself. "Oh great, I'm only
getting x amount of calories a day and that's not enough. I
better store a portion of it as fat for energy later" THIS
is EXACTLY why you lose a good amount of weight for about a
week or so and then BAM it stops. That happened to me EVERY
time. So when you use calorie shifting you are constantly
tricking your body into a metabolism that will help you
lose weight. I didn't exercise for 30 days because of my
ankle and lost more weight than I ever had because of
calorie shifting.

What Kind Of Foods Can You Eat?

The concept of calorie shifting is simple but knowing how
to put it all together is the tougher part. The variety of
foods you can eat are pretty good. I pretty much was
already eating it or buying it at the store so that part I
really liked. Its combining the right foods in the right
proportions at the right times that make it all come
together. Here is a sample of one of my daily diets.

Meal 1 - Oatmeal

Meal 2 - Fruit Salad (my favorite!)

Meal 3 - Turkey Sandwich or I would have Fish quite often

Meal 4 - Cottage Cheese

How Much Weight Loss Should I Expect In A Month?

I hate this question because I did REALLY well on the
calorie shifting diet and with NOT a single day of exercise
lost about 26 pounds in 30 days. From the feedback I'm
getting this isn't normal and its closer to about 15-20 lbs
in 30 days for other people. Obviously 15-20 pounds in a
month is AWESOME for JUST dieting and no exercise. The
people that are exercising are losing closer to 15-25 and
remember as you exercise you are building muscle and muscle
weighs more than fat!
