Achieving Rapid Weight Loss With Calorie Cycling
There is an abundance of misinformation that exists when it comes to developing nutritional plans that support weight loss. The majority of people who are striving to lose weight or transform their bodies by dieting end up failing, not because they lack the motivation, but because the information they receive on how to do so is inaccurate.
There are tons of fad diets that we have come across in the past few years that force people to make extreme changes in their diet by either excessively restricting caloric intake or by drastically cutting out certain macronutrients. These diets are not only detrimental to your metabolism, they also require a huge amount of effort.
However, there is a solution that will not require you to work harder on your diet or to make drastic changes. By implementing a simple technique that is relatively easy to execute, you can make positive changes to your metabolism and to your body. This powerful technique is know as calorie cycling.
Calorie cycling accomplishes weight loss through constantly varying your eating routine by reducing your caloric intake in short, 2-3 day cycles. In most of today's fad diets, you end up shocking your body into a rapid weight loss scheme and your body reacts by slowing down your metabolism so it can store fat for energy use later. Calorie cycling, however, does not allow your body to fully acclimate to a particular routine, and, in turn, your metabolism stays up to speed. This enables you burn off more fat with regular exercise.
So, how does this technique actually work? Let's look at an example. If you are used to eating a 2000 calorie/day diet, then your body becomes accustomed to burning that amount of energy each day. With calorie cycling, you would cut 400 or 500 calories out of your regular intake for a short period of time, about two days or so. Luckily for us, our bodies will take about 2 days to recognize this change, and in the meantime, will continue to burn the 2000 calories a day that it is used to getting.
Therefore, if your body is still burning the 2000 calories but you've only been feeding it 1600, it must find the energy elsewhere. As long as your diet consists of some core healthy foods in the form of lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, then your body will use those missing calories in the form of stored body fat. The beauty is, you don't need to make enormous sacrifices or changes to your current diet for this technique to be effective.
Obviously, this type of strategy has to be done correctly to be effective, so you have to exercise some common sense. Ideally, the calories you cut out of your diet for those short periods should be calories that come from unhealthy foods, primarily flour, sugar, and any heavily processed foods. In addition, your cycles of calorie restriction should not be permanent, about a day or two before you return to your normal intake.
The powerful part of this program is that you can continue to increase the efficiency of your metabolic system by continuing to cycle your calories. In other words, your metabolism will continue to increase throughout the cycles until it has reached its maximum fat burning level!
The end result of this "diet" is that you're not really dieting at all! You are simply eating healthy foods in varied caloric cycles, therefore you're not shocking (and damaging) your metabolism. Once your metabolism is in high gear, with the assistance of regular exercise, you'll start to see that stubborn fat be blowtorched!!
