What if there were such a thing as a diet for lazy people? What if there exists a weight loss program that allowed you to eat as much food as you wanted to your satisfaction? What if there exists a weight loss program that allowed you to eat food from all 4 major food groups? What if such a weight loss program did exist, and could produce rapid fat loss results?

Even though it might appear too good to be true, there does exist such a diet regimen as described above: the calorie shifting diet.

While on this diet regimen you should lose 9 pounds every eleven days with minimal effort.

How does the calorie shifting diet work? Calorie shifting, as the name implies, is the process of alternating the types of calories that you eat from one meal after another over a period of several days and weeks. In other words, what you partake of for breakfast on day 1 determines what type of foods you can and can't have for every meal for the next 11 consecutive days, because your meals must follow a specific pattern of including and excluding various nutrients at specific intervals of time in order for your body to enter a fat burning mode.

Research shows that you can manually accelerate your body's metabolism at will by partaking of certain types of foods at certain intervals. Your metabolism is what controls the rate at which your body transforms food into energy, conserves it as fat, or uses up your fat stores. If it detects a nutritional deficit, it makes up for it by burning its fat stores.

How the Calorie Shifting Diet works is that you swap the types of calories that you take in, from one meal to another. In other words, you are allowed to take in a diverse spread of different foods from each of the 4 major food groups. And you are permitted to eat them in unlimited amounts without keeping track of carbs or calories. The only "catch", if at all, is that you have to sort out the foods from each food group and eat them in different groups at varying times of day. For example, you could consume food from the bread and meat food groups at one meal, but at the following meal you might eat only dairy, and then the following meal might be comprised of vegetables and dairy products at the following meal. And this sequence is continuously shifting, meal after meal.

What this ultimately results in for you is a phased approach to automatic fat burning. Your body will react to the lack of one nutrient by triggering its fat reserves. And then you quickly readmit the missing nutrient into your diet by the time the fat burning has already kicked off. But before your body has the chance to "recover" and revert back to a "normal" metabolic rate, you must then phase out another nutrient, and your body will retain its fat burning phase because it now perceives the deficiency of that nutrient.

So in fact what you are doing is producing a cyclical fat burning mode, not because of exclusively eliminating carbohydrates, or you are on a vegetarian diet, or a dairy diet, however since you are basically engaging in spurts of nutritional deficiency in small bursts, just long enough to cause fat loss, however not long enough to actually deny you of the essential nutrients that you must have in order to keep up with a well-balanced diet.
