The Calorie Shifting Diet is a rapid weight loss program with only a few basic rules:

1. You can eat as much food as you want at each meal until you are completely satisfied, but not until you are too full.

2. You must eat four full meals every day.

3. You must space out each meal by a minimum of two and a half to three hours in between each.

4. You must drink at least ten glasses of water every day.

5. You must generate a customized diet plan, tailored to your personal preferences, which you must follow in increments of eleven-day cycles. This meal plan will consist of four meals to be eaten every day. You get to choose the order in which you get to each of the four meals on each given day.

6. You are required to take a mandatory three-day "cheat break" from the diet every twelfth through fourteenth days on the diet. During those three days, you are allowed to eat anything you want, as long as you never let yourself get too full.

If you follow these six simple rules, you can expect to lose nine pounds during every eleven-day cycle. Even if you account for the three-day breaks every two weeks, you can expect to lose upwards of eighteen to twenty pounds every month!

Calorie shifting is based on the principle that you can manipulate your body's metabolism, at will, to induce fat burning, simply by shifting the types of calories you consume from meal to meal, every day.
