Unlike other diet regimens that require you to sacrifice calories, carbohydrates, fats, and whatnot, the calorie shifting diet does not require to make any sacrifices at all. It does not require you to learn self-restraint, change your old habits, or engage in self-denial. The calorie shifting diet is made easy to follow.

On this diet, you can eat as much food as you want at each meal until you are satisfied, but not too full. You are required to eat food from all four food groups while on this diet. In fact, you are required to eat four full meals every day.

All you have to do is generate a personalized meal plan that you will follow for a period of 11-days (the significance of the number 11 is explained later), in accordance with the principles of calorie shifting. In other words, the choice of foods you eat at each meal determines what you are allowed to eat at every other meal for the next 11 days. You are rotationally shifting what types of calories you consume at each meal.

Research has shown that it is possible to manipulate your body’s metabolism at will and induce weight loss through fat burning, simply by withholding and reintroducing certain nutrients from your diet at set intervals. If done in the proper way, you can literally trick your body’s metabolism into compensating for a perceived nutritional deficit by tapping into your body’s fat reserves.

While on this diet, you can expect to lose 9 pounds every 11 days. One distinguishing feature of this diet is that you are required to take a mandatory 3-day break, often referred to as a “cheat break”, from this diet every 2 weeks. Hence, in every 14-day period, you follow the diet for 11 days and rest for 3 days before you resume it again.
