While I recommend eating
fairly clean all the time, I realize many of you will go on a “diet” at one
time or another. What typically happens is you begin the diet by cutting bad
carbs or calories and soon after the weight begins to drop off. This continues
for a time and then suddenly- you hit a sticking point where no more fat is
lost, often leading to frustration. What happens is your body has reacted to
the reduced caloric consumption by slowing your metabolism down to preserve your
fat stores in the event of starvation.
Is there a way to remedy
this? Absolutely! We need to trick your body into believing that we are not
going to starve it by altering our diet. To do this we are going to add
phase-shift dieting. Once every 5 days increase your calories to nearly the
point they were prior to your dieting for one day. What this does is adjust
your body to your old caloric level for the one day, which causes your body to
increase your metabolism. The day after when you return to the reduced calories
of your diet your metabolism will continue to burn calories at an elevated pace
for several days. Repeat this sequence every 5 days during your diet to lose
fat much faster than you would normally.
