What do you think the best method to lose weight? In today’s world where we are bombarded by brochures, advertisements, and banners, it is become really difficult to discover the answer by yourself.

So, are fad diets that offer super fast result worth to try? Maybe having a popular diet like Atkins is better? You may even interested in your neighbor Ms. Smith secret tricks or Uncle Tom’s methods to achieve your ideal weight.

Well, even with the streams on information about losing weight that you can get, I’m pretty sure the prospect of testing them one by one will blow your resolution to lose weight in an instant.

Let’s analyze the options that we got:
1. Fad diet; grapefruit diet, cabbage soup diet (low calorie), atkins diet (low carbs), the list goes on and the conclusion is ‘absolutely NO’.

The diets above guarantee fast weight loss as well as fast weight gain after you’re back to your old eating bahavior, it will also make you suffer lack of nutrients as a result of banning certain food groups, feeling hungry throughout the day, and many other side effects. It will only add depression to your weight loss process and messed up your daily activities.

2. Suggestion and advises from relatives in the form of ‘home made’ diet plans; while sometimes it seems that the plans worked for them, remember that they are not expert in the field and can’t giving professional solution to the problem.

For example, I know someone who only takes two meals a day and sometimes even just once. Oddly enough, he doesn’t have any problem with his health because his body can accept that eating behavior perfectly, but of course not everyone can do that. If you decide to have advices about losing weight from someone who is not a professional in that field, talk to your doctor before doing it.

3. ‘Conservative’ diet that every ‘expert’ suggested: low calorie meals (probably by measuring every ounce of it) and hours at treadmill, stationary bike, or elliptical machine, complemented by some weight lifting at your local gym; it does sounds like a ‘hard work that will be paid off’, but the fact is it WON’T WORK either.

Why? If you’re on a diet that reduce carbs or calorie intake (also known as low carb/low calorie diet), your body doesn’t get the amount that it usually gets; this condition will activate its defense mechanism against starvation: keep the fat instead of burn it and slow down its metabolic rate. When you fight against your own body, it will win; you’ll notice that when it is getting harder and harder to lose weight, even when the same diet plans applied.

So, what is the best way to lose weight? The answer is ‘calorie shifting’. Calorie shifting is a method devised to counter the body mechanism by keep changing the calorie intakes between meals each day, thus make your body unable to identify the reducing in calorie intakes.

That’s not all, there are specific days that specially chosen as the ‘high calorie’ day when you break the low calorie routine and boost the calorie intake throughout the day. This also means that you can take any food that usually forbidden for dieter such as donuts, pizza, and ice cream. Again, this will trick your body into believe that you are eating as usual.

Not only you avoiding hunger and eating the food that you dislike, this method also keep your metabolism rate steadily high, thus result in fast and steady fat burning. Exercise is still needed and if you have time for cardio and weight training, it is even better. But if you don’t, mild exercise such as light jog or stair climbing is enough to complement this diet.

Applying calorie shifting in your meal plans is the best method available to lose weight without any complicated requirement or time consuming preparation; the most important is the basic principle, so you can still apply it even if you are vegetarian by including soy products in the menu. Note that you don’t have to be an expert in ‘calorie shifting’ theory to implement it; why? Discover the answer at Fat Loss 4 Idiots review.
