Following a strict weight loss diet requires a great deal of discipline, sacrifice, and reconditioning of the way you think about food. But losing weight should not have to be difficult. Did you know that it is entirely possible to experience rapid weight loss without the use of diet pills, without cutting back on the quantity of the food, without sacrificing fats or carbs, and without exercising?

The calorie shifting diet, unlike other mainstream diets, does not require much in the way of sacrifice. You can eat as much food as you want at every meal until you are satisfied. You get to eat food from each of the four major food groups. You never feel hungry and your cravings for food never go unfulfilled.

The calorie shifting diet is based on the principle that it is possible to manipulate your body's metabolism at will and induce weight loss through the stimulation of the hormones that are responsible for burning fat cells in your body. This may sound like what a diet pill does. But in reality, it is possible to achieve rapid weight loss results through natural meals, simply by shifting the types of calories you consume rotationally from meal to meal over the course of each day.

Your body's metabolism reacts to the absence or the presence of certain nutrients in your system by either consuming them for energy or storing them as fat. Consumed in the right combination, you can recondition your metabolism to believe that it is being deprived of certain nutrients and thus tap into your fat stores for energy. But by the time your body begins to burn fat, you reintroduce that nutrient back into your system and then withhold another type of nutrient. Because different types of foods have different densities, you might eat fruits and vegetables at one meal and breads at another meal, but because fruits and vegetables are lighter, you will be eating fewer calories at that meal than if you eat bread at your meal. So even though you are eating to your satisfaction at each meal, you are indirectly also consuming fewer calories.

Thus there is no need to follow a strict weight loss diet when you can follow a diet such as this. While on this diet, you can expect to lose 9 pounds every 11 days.

There are only 4 basic rules to this diet:

Eat as much food as you want at each meal until you are satisfied but not too full. Overeating is counterproductive on any diet. Space your meals out by at least 2.5 to 3 hours. You should give your body ample time to completely digest its food from the previous meal before you eat your next meal. You are required to take a 3-day break from your diet every 12th through 14th days. This will give your body a chance to rest from the rapid weight loss you will be undergoing. You must eat four meals a day according to the calorie shifting diet's personalized meal planner.
Here is a sample diet plan that illustrates how this diet works. The diet actually is designed to work in 11-day cycles, but only 3 days are shown here for brevity. Keep in mind that you can eat your four daily meals in any order you want during each respective day.

On day #1, your four meals of the day could look like this, depending on the custom choices you make when you generate your diet plan:

Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs Meal

Lunch: Sandwich (any type)

Dinner: Tuna Salad

Snack: Flavored Oatmeal

You can of course shuffle these meals around and eat them in any order on that day. For example, you can have oatmeal for breakfast and scrambled eggs for dinner, and a sandwich as your "snack".

On Day #2, your meal plan would look like this. Note that this meal plan is based on two things- your custom choices in your meal plan, and is based on what you eat on Day #1... If you change what you ate on Day #1, your food choices would be different on Day #2, and Day #3 subsequently:

Breakfast: Cottage Cheese

Lunch: Scrambled Eggs [and] Mixed Vegetables

Dinner: Chicken

Snack: Banana Milk Shake

Again, you can shuffle these meals around and eat them in any order you wish on that day. And of course, you can eat as much as you want at each meal. So there is no limit on how much chicken you would have at dinner, for example, as long as you do not eat until you are too full.

And here is Day #3:

Breakfast: ottage Cheese

Lunch: Fish Filet

Dinner: Fruit Salad

Snack: Chicken

As is evident from the meal plan above, this is an idiot-proof diet that does not require much discipline, commitment of willpower, or sacrifice, because you are practically eating as much as you want of every food group.
