The Shifting Calories Theory
The shifting calories theory has actually existed for few decades. In actual fact, nowadays, many popular diets have some elements of the shifting calories theory in them.
According to the theory, when we are constantly insufficient of certain nutrient (calorie and fat, for people who are trying to lose weight), our body will perceive this as a signal that we have insufficient food, thus this will turn on our "survival button", causing our body to use less calorie, burn less fat and store more fat so that we can survive longer.
Due to the reason above, we will either lose very little weight or we will face a weight loss plateau after a certain period of time. This phenomenon is very common amongst the people who are adopting constant "low" diet such as low calorie diet, low fat diet et cetera.
On the other hand, by shifting the calories between low, medium and high calorie, our body system will not change, thus allowing us to lose weight effectively. This is because even though the average calorie intake is low, by occasionally inserting high calorie day, this would prevent our body to perceive that we are insufficient of food.
Moreover, the Calorie Shifting diet often advocates the idea of detoxification. This is very important because this would reduce the burden of our digestive system, thus allowing it to have more "energy" to digest foods that are harder to digest such as meat and fat. Ultimately, this would improve our metabolic rate, and we will be able to lose weight more effectively.
In conclusion as compared to the traditional diet plans, the Calorie Shifting diet plan is indeed more effective. Therefore, it is not a rare scenario to see so many diets that are starting to implement a small extent of shifting calories theory in their diets.
