The Calorie Shifting Diet is unique among diet plans available on the market today. Unlike other diets that emphasize on eating less, controlling your caloric intake, or reducing your carbohydrate intake, the Calorie Shifting diet places its emphasis on literally shifting the types of calories that you consume, from meal to meal, each and every day.

Therefore, you can eat as much food as you desire at each meal, while you are following this diet. Just don't eat until you are too full. The Calorie Shifting diet menu plan calls upon you to eat four full meals every day, taking care to space each meal out by at least two and a half to three hours in between each meal.

You can expect to be required to eat foods from all four of the major food groups over the course of this diet. You also need to drink a minimum of ten full glasses of water every day.

While on this diet, you can expect to lose nine pounds every eleven days. That is just short of one full pound every day of weight loss!

Most dietitians and nutritionists agree that losing weight this rapidly for long periods of time is unsafe. Fortunately, the Calorie Shifting Diet addresses this issue with perhaps one of the most uniquely distinguishing features of this diet, one that no other diet requires:

While on the Calorie Shifting Diet, you are required to take a mandatory three-day break from the diet, every two weeks. During these three days, you are allowed to eat whatever you want as long as you take care never to get too full, lest you should gain any of your weight back.

Thus you will be following the diet in two-week cycles: Eleven days of dieting, followed by three days off, followed by another eleven days of dieting, followed by another three days off, and so on and so forth.
