Rotating calories is an extremely effective way to lose weight quickly, safely, and with the least amount of effort, and the least amount of sacrifice.

When you are rotating calories (also commonly referred to as shifting calories), you are not sacrificing on any foods from the four major food groups. Instead, you are literally rotating the types of calories that you consume, from meal to meal, from day to day. When you rotate calories in the appropriate sequence, you will be able to compel your body's metabolism to go into fat-burning mode, literally at will. So, even though you are eating plentiful food of all different varieties, and you never feel hungry or dissatisfied, you will still lose weight.

You can expect to lose 9 pounds every 11 days while on a rotating calories diet. That is just shy of about 1 pound per day of solid weight loss!

But is this diet safe? Is it satisfying? Will it work? Let's take a look at some of the basic rules of the diet:

1. You can eat as much food as you desire at every meal, until you are satisfied, but not too stuffed.

2. You will be eating 4 full meals per day, and each meal must be spaced out by at least 2.5 to 3 hours in between each, minimum.

3. You must drink at least 10 full glasses of water every day.

4. You must take a mandatory 3-day break from the diet every 12th through 14th days.

So, in essence, you don't count anything. No calories. No carbohydrates. You eat until your body tells you that you are satisfied.

You eat food from all four food groups. You eat four times a day. The only catch is that you must rotate your calories every meal.

As for point #4 above, this is one of the most unique features about this diet. You are required to take 3-days off from the diet, during which you are free to eat whatever you want, whenever you want, as long as you never stuff yourself and eat only until you are satisfied. Why is this rule even here?

Because most nutritionists and dietitians agree that too much rapid weight loss is unsafe for your body. By imposing this 3-day diet moratorium, your body will have ample opportunity to rest and stabilize from the diet, before you may resume the diet again for another 11 consecutive days, after which you must take another 3-day break again.
