When you try to lose some weight, the most important thing is to find an efficient diet plan, which should provide safe and quick loss of weight. It might not be so simple to decide whether something is or isn’t effective, so you need to do some research about your diet.
Human Metabolism
First things first - your body is designed in such as way to preserve extra energy in the form of fat. When needed, the body can use this accumulated fat and provide energy for the body. Therefore, many people think it would be easy to lose some weight just by cutting on food they eat. It may seem to work and they could lose several pounds in the beginning but long term – this is a bad strategy. Your body will adapt very quickly to reduced amount of calories every day, slow down your metabolism and your diet won’t make any sense. It may even turn out to be worse. Your body will slow your metabolism to the point of “diet plateau” that it will preserve any excess energy and store as more fat.
Calorie Shifting Strategy
Calorie shifting is one of weight loss strategies that could be incorporated into some diet plan. Many popular weight loss programs are actually based on this strategy since it affects your metabolism.
Calorie shifting suggests fluctuated intake of calories on different days, so that the body doesn’t adjust to fewer calories and doesn’t negatively affect your metabolism. In fact, daily intake of calories should be planned for a whole week ahead, in that way that it doesn’t slow your metabolism. As the final result of this body confusion about the calories, people lose excess weight.
A person who wants to resort to this weight loss program should consult his or her doctor and nutritionist. Low intake of calories may be responsible for dizziness or fainting and you need to be careful and not decrease daily intake to less than 1.200 calories.
So, basically you need to have weekly plan suited to your personal needs and that’s why you need the help of professional nutritionist. Make sure to have calorie intake high on some days and low on some other days of the week. For a person who should take about 1.500 calories every day, this means he or she should stick to that amount on some days and then decrease or increase the amount of calories on other days of the week.
