If you're interested in dieting but can't seem to find one that works for you, then you should check out calorie shifting.
The great thing about this diet is that it allows you to eat the foods you would normally eat while boosting your metabolism and turning your body into a fat burning furnace.
If you've ever tried any other diet before, then you'll know that most of them instruct you to keep as many meals per day as possible.
The calorie shifting diet is no different in this regard.
Where it does differ is in the pattern in which you eat these meals.
First you must decide how much weight you want to lose and come up with a calorie amount that you want to cut out of your daily routine.
From there, subtract that from your average daily caloric requirement which is based on your current age, height and level of activity.
Once you have that number, divide it up into different amounts, one for each meal that you will be eating.
The most important part of this diet is to remember to make sure that each meal you eat is substantially different in caloric value.
For instance, you could eat a large breakfast followed by a light lunch, then eat a medium sized midday meal.
Then you could eat a decent sized dinner followed by another small meal a few hours later.
The idea behind this technique is to trick your body into thinking you are gorging yourself.
When your body thinks you are overeating, it's response is to naturally raise your metabolism and start to burn calories even when you are sleeping!
