hi i used to help people lose weight they would get to 6 weeks of the same diet and then everything stopped the body needs this calorie shifting to keep it unstable so it continues to lose weight ur body wants to stabilise that is what its designed to do so u have to trick it to make it lose more weight …. i havent tried this yet but believe it would work

Okay, the calorie shifting diet worked wonders for me. I was totally stuck unable to lose weight and decided to try the calorie shifting diet. In about a week, maybe a bit longer, the pounds started to come off. I think it does what it is supposed to do, it seems to confuse the body, which is perfect if you are unable to lose weight. I do not know, maybe I just got lucky or something, but I think the calorie shifting works.

I’ve done the calorie shifting diet years ago and in about 3 months lost 40 pounds…along with walking up to 5 miles a day and doing an hour long tae-bo tape once a day. Drinking lots of water too, some days up to a gallon. It really does work wonders…even on days I wasn’t walking or working out the weight seemed to melt off.

I like the sound of this diet, mostly because they dont tell you that you are magically going to lose 20 pounds a day. keep it up.

So this plan posted above is throughout a month, right?

I appreciate the simple explanation about calorie shifting, but I am sceptical about how long I’d actually sustain the effort of counting calories and keeping diary of what I ate two days ago etc etc. Overall, I think avoiding empty calories and sports is a more sustainable option for me. Perhaps I’ll throw in a couple of treat days and a couple of extra effort days to trick my body. I have ten kilos to lose. We’ll see if that works.

I agree with Steve Ooo and others. It is a good explanation but be realistic people. It is simple. Drop 250 calories from your diet and burn 250 a day. You will lose weight or clothes feel better – whatever you are going for!
I just started back to my walking weights regime. Although I haven’t had dramatic results (11 in 9) I certainly feel better and it keeps me motivated to stop snacking at night…
Take care all.

Please answer me this. Who has the time to accurately count your calories? Really!! Just change your eating habits; such as, don’t eat too many empty calories at night, such as bread, rice, pasta (popcorn) etc.. Eat more meals a day. The traditional diet was set up to have 5 meals a day – 3 main and 2 snacks (snacks are fruits, nuts, and yogurt etc… not chips and candy) this type of “Back in the day” traditional meals were much smaller and very well balanced. With 5 smaller balanced main meals (don’t ever eat until you are stuffed, eat to where you’re comfortable), around 2000 calories (depending on your weight) and less carbs at night. I guarantee you’ll lose weight and if you throw in a push-up or two your head will actually explode.

Finally, throw your scale away (at least hide it for the first couple months). Numbers can discourage you. In the beginning you might be eating less and working out but the numbers on your scale remain the same. Why? Muscle is dense and weighs more than fat, so you could be losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time. Let your jeans, shirts and mirror (and your special someone’s hands) tell the real story.

PS: Take the stairs when you can and walk at every opportunity. When the 2000 calorie a-day balanced diet was created there wasn’t the internet or 500 channels to choose from – hell, I don’t even have to walk to the phone anymore or turn up the TV.
