What is the best option when it comes to losing weight? In today’s world where we are bombarded by brochures, advertisements, and banners, it is become really difficult to discover the answer by yourself.
So, should you go for the famous fad diet that offer lightning speed result? Or following the popular diet such as South Beach diet? Hey, you might even want to try next door’s Mrs. Henderson secret tricks or Uncle Jeff’s methods to achieve your ideal weight.
Well, even with the streams on information about losing weight that you can get, I’m pretty sure the prospect of testing them one by one will blow your resolution to lose weight in an instant.
Let’s analyze the options that we got:
1. Fad diet; grapefruit diet, cabbage soup diet (low calorie), atkins diet (low carbs), the list continues and the conclusion is ‘absolutely NO’.
With this kind of diet, you’ll gain the weight back as fast as you lose it, suffer lack of nutrients due to restriction of certain food groups, and feel hungry with various other side effects during the process. It will only bring depression to your weight loss process and messed up your daily routines.
2. Recommendation and advises from relatives in the form of ‘home made’ diet plans; while at times it seems that the plans did wonders for them, bear in mind that they are not an expert in this field and simply cannot offer professional solution to the issue.
For example, I know somebody that only takes 2 meals per day and sometimes even just once. He doesn’t seems to having health problem since his body has somehow adjust with this behavior, but it surely not something that everybody can follow. If you are really going to follow advices from someone who is not a professional, consult your doctor first.
3. ‘Traditional’ diet method that involving reducing calorie intake while taking long hours of cardio and weight training sessions; it seems nice and ‘following the rules’, but the answer is still NO, it won’t do at all.
Why? If you’re on a diet that reduce carbs or calorie intake (also known as low carb/low calorie diet), your body doesn’t get the amount that it usually gets; this condition will activate its defense mechanism against starvation: keep the fat instead of burn it and slow down its metabolic rate. When you fight against your own body, it will win; you’ll realize that when it is getting harder and harder to shed pounds (even if the same weight loss programs applied).
So, what is the best way to lose weight? The solution is ‘calorie shifting’. Calorie shifting is a technique that devised to counter the body mechanism by keep altering the calorie intake between meals each day, thus make your body unable to identify the reducing in calorie intake.
That’s not all, there are specific days that specially chosen as the ‘high calorie’ day when you break the low calorie routine and boost the calorie intake throughout the day. This also means that you can take any food that usually forbidden for dieter such as donuts, pizza, and ice cream. This is another trick to make your body thinks that there is no changes in your eating behavior.
Aside from kicking hunger and eating foods that you dislike from the process, this method also guarantee fast fat burning by keeping your metabolic rate high and steady. Exercise is still required and if you have time for both cardiovascular exercise and strength training, it is even better. But if you don’t, moderate exercise such as light jog or stair climbing is enough to complement this diet.
‘Calorie shifting’ is truly the best way to lose weight and it will work when other fails; it even works for vegetarian by replacing meat and dairy products with soy products.
