Fat Loss 4 Idiots Book

Ok so you've found a program that moreless works for fat loss. You find yourself successfully losing weight, but you also see that you'll gain some weight back from time to time and you don't know why. Sometimes it may be because you cheat yourself, and you know who you are, or you are genuinely doing something wrong. Ok ok let me explain what may be happening.

And it's not what you'd expect

Your exercise and diet programs may be working, but what your programs aren't teaching you is that you have to cycle your eating and exercise routines every so often. This step is vital to keep progressing with not only fat loss but to increasing muscle as well.

"Why should I cycle my diet?"

Very well, you see our bodies are sort of like machines. Like cars need new oil every 3,000 miles, our bodies need what I like to call "New Eating Plans" every so often just as well. For our cars to keep running with the utmost efficiency new oil is required, for our bodies to keep burning more energy new eating plans are also needed.

This is what's called "Calorie Shifting"

What is behind Calorie Shifting? Ok here's the rundown, your metabolism burns a set amount of calories per day, this calorie amount is based on how many calories you normally take in. So in turn, your metabolism knows how many calories you are going to eat so it'll burn a set amount calories. Essentially, Calorie Shifting is a means to trick your metabolism, to make it work harder and burn more fat, because you switch the amount of calories you take in, your metabolism doesn't know how to respond.

"So my metabolism won't do anything?"

Not exactly, your metabolism is a problem solver, so when it burns off the calories you just ate it will look for more energy to burn, thus attacking your fat tissue and helping you burn more fat. When you surprise your metabolism you force it to burn more energy, and once it burns off all of the "on-hand" energy it goes after your adipose fat, which is stored fat in your body.

There you have it, my friends, this is how you not only maintain fat loss, but also increase fat burn and efficiency.
