What is Calorie Shifting
Calorie
Shifting is the practice of inducing your metabolism to burn
all the calories it accepts as food, by changing your eating
habits and the combinations of foods you eat.
Your
metabolism can’t know what your calorie intake will be
tomorrow or the day after, so it burns calories based on
your eating habits during the past few days. Your metabolism
assumes your eating habits will be the same over the next
days to come.
If however, you could do the opposite of what
your metabolism was expecting, this would effectively
shock your system into burning more calories. By rotating
the foods you eat and the frequency and types of foods,
your metabolism will start to burn calories based on this
rotation.
What you are
doing in effect is telling your metabolism to burn more
calories, as it will expect to see more calories being
ingested.

How does Calorie Shifting Work
After every
meal you eat, hormones are released by your brain. One
hormone, the Fat Burning Hormone, controls the amount of
calories used by the body and the other hormone, the Fat
Storing Hormone, controls the amount of calories stored as
fat in your body.
Using a
Calorie Shifting diet, you induce your body to release more
Fat Burning Hormones and Less Fat Storing Hormones. This
effectively forces your metabolism to burn a greater
percentage of calorie intake, reducing the percentage of
calorie intake stored as fat.
Your body
gets different types of calories every day, which forces
faster fat burning to happen.

How Can I Benefit from Calorie Shifting
Fat tissue is
produced by the body, but is actually meant to be burned
away in your daily activities. If your body’s Fat Burning
Hormones are not released properly after every meal, then
this fat tissue get stored, instead of being
used.
Calorie
Shifting involves rotating the food types and the frequency,
to allow the release of the highest percentage of Fat
Burning Hormones. By
achieving this, you force your body to burn a higher
percentage of the calories you eat and minimize the
percentage your body stores as fat. This process, if repeated in properly
defined cycles, causes a repeatable weight loss to
occur. This weight
loss occurs without depriving yourself of any food types or
minimizing your calorie intake. The weight loss is the direct result of
the shifting nutrition patterns and the way in which your
body produces Fat Burning Hormones and Fat Storing
Hormones.
By using a
Calorie Shifting nutrition plan, you are able to burn more
fat from your daily calorie intake, and also cause your body
to use the fat it has already stored as fatty
deposits.
