Among the myriad of diet plans that exist out there, calorie-shifting is one of the more easy diet plans to follow. You can eat as much food as you want from each of the four food groups, and still expect to lose 9 pounds in eleven days. You even get a 3-day “cheat break” every two weeks while on this diet. The only thing you have to do is follow a structured meal plan which requires you to group your calories together at each meal in such a way so as to increase your metabolism and induce fat burning and weight loss, and then rotationally shift your calories around regroup them from meal to meal.

What does this mean? How does the calorie-shifting diet works? Calorie-shifting is based on the principle that you can effectively manipulate your metabolism at will to induce weight loss, not by eating less food or cutting out carbohydrates or even by exercising, but by systematically removing and reintroducing various types of calories from your body at specific intervals. Somewhat analogous to how a low-carb diet induces weight loss due to the lack of carbohydrates in your body, the calorie-shifting diet reacts to the loss of certain types of nutrients, but as soon as your body begins to compensate for this loss, you reintroduce that nutrient and withhold another type. Thus, you are able to effectively maintain rapid weight loss, but without the actual nutritional deficit as is the case with the low-carbohydrate diet.

So what makes this diet plan so easy to follow? Because you can eat as much as you want on this diet, you will always feel satisfied and never hungry. Because you will be eating from all four food groups on this diet, you will never feel deprived. Thus, remaining motivated on this diet should be a non-issue.

There are only four basic rules you need to follow:

Eat as much as you want at each meal until you are satisfied but not too full. Overeating is never conducive weight loss, no matter what diet plan you are on.
Space your meals out by at least 2.5 to 3 hours.
You must take a mandatory 3-day break from the diet every 12th through 14th days on the diet. This gives your body a chance to rest from the rapid weight loss you will be experiencing. During these 3 days you must adhere to healthy eating guidelines, much like you would if you had basically finished losing all of your weight.
You must follow a customized diet regimen as prescribed by the guidelines of this diet plan.

What do you know about grapefruit diet? Let me tell you, grapefruit diet is one of diet plans that tell you to always eat and drink “grapefruits” in breakfast, dinner, and lunch. It is part of the fad diets. Fad diets were very popular 20 years ago but after several researches by weight loss experts, most people left this type of diet.

Grapefruit Diet created because the “creator” believes grapefruit is effective when you mix it with all kinds of food. When you eat chickens, veggies, spinach, and other type of foods, you can also combine them with grapefruit. Grapefruit is good because it contains very few calories and it is free from fats.

So these people who suggested you to follow “Grapefruit Diet” believes you won’t get fat because of the grapefruits but you won’t get hungry anymore after you eat grapefruits. Let’s say in example, if you eat 2 chickens every dinner, you now only need to eat 1 chicken and replace the other chickens with grapefruits. Grapefruits contain few calories and free from fats, that’s why they recommend this type of diet to you.

The research in about 20 years ago proved the effectiveness of this diet. Usually we need to eat less than usual to help us lose weight, but with grapefruits, you don’t need to do that. Replace half of your meals with grapefruits and you will be fine. Do it everyday, in every dinner, every lunch, and every breakfast. You still need to take exercises daily (who said you don’t need to take exercises anyway?)

But with grapefruit diets, at least, you are one step ahead. Do you need to take exercises? Yes. But do you need to eat less than usual? No. You only need to replace half of your meals with grapefruits. So it is different with so many kinds of diet plans in this world which require you to eat less than before.

So in average, when you are practicing this grapefruit diet, you can lose 3-4 pounds in 2 months. Maybe you can categorize grapefruit diet as a slow diet. Yes, grapefruit diet is slow and can only help you lose 1-2 pounds every month. You’ll lose 1-2 pounds if you are discipline in your diet but if not, don’t hope you can lose even a single pound in one month. But without eat less than usual, we should think grapefruit diet is one of real diet plans because there are so many frauds in diet plans. If you are a man/woman with patience, you can try this diet. In long term, it is good for you.

You have been on that low carb diet for a while and now you simply do not know what else you can eat. You are fed up with the same foods you have been eating since you started and now every breakfast, lunch or dinner are more than a quest.

Many people face the same difficulty in choosing their menu while they are on a low carb diet. The reason behind this is that they are unsure which foods are allowed and which – not.

Low carbohydrate diets in fact are very generous. You can eat almost everything unless it contains a lot of carbohydrates.

Vegetables: during a low carb diet only low carb vegetables are allowed. You will be amazed how many vegetables you can eat. You can consume all kind of greens such as lettuce, spinach, chard; beans, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, mushrooms, cucumbers, all kinds of peppers, onions and all kinds of herbs. The main vegetables that are not allowed because they have high carb levels are corn, potatoes, peas, beets and carrots.

Fruits: fruit consumption during a low carb diet can be a bit tricky as most of the fruits contain a lot of glucose. However you can eat all kind of berries (strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries), grapefruit, melons, apricots, plums, peaches, pears, cherries, apples. Depending on the diet you might be allowed to eat some fruits that have higher sugar levels such as grapes, oranges, tangerine, and pineapples. Fruits that are strictly forbidden are bananas and all kinds of dried fruits.

Meat: most of the low carb diets feature an extensive use of meats. This is due to the fact that meat contains a lot of proteins and some essential substances for your wellbeing. However you should be careful what meat you eat. Avoid breaded meats or heavy meat souses, check if the hams and luncheon meats you want to eat have added sugars.

Dairy: dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, and cream have a lot of carbohydrates so be very careful about their consumption. Make sure you know how to count the carbs in these products. An option is to find substitutes such as soy milk and cream.

Obviously it is impossible to list all of the foods you can or cannot eat during your diet. For that reason you can take a diet food list that will have all of the foods you can eat. What you should do is to check with this list if the food you want is allowed or not. After a while you will not need the list anymore. Another tip is to concentrate on the foods you can eat and stop thinking of the ones you are not allowed to have.
