Calorie Shifting for Long Lasting Weight Loss

Calorie shifting is the continuous changing of calorie food source (carbohydrates and protein), and their amount over a period of time. It is planned to force the body to increase production of of fat burning hormones and decrease production of fat storing hormones. Coupled with walking, calorie shifting even increases production of fat burning hormones.

The advantages of this system is that you will eat the way you like without avoiding a complete category of food. The main advantage is that your body can not slow down its metabolism as occurs with different diets.

The system works over weeks and not 3, 5, or 7 days, since it is aimed at maintaining weight loss. It is the easy way to start losing fat for long periods of time.
