Calorie shifting diets are a new breed of diet regimen that is gaining widespread popularity and staking its claim as a bona fide weight loss program in its own right.

Unlike the Atkins or Weight Watchers diets, where you must severely restrict and keep track of your carbohydrate or your calorie intake, calorie shifting diets allow you to eat as much food as you want from all four food groups. The only catch is that you are required to shift your calories from meal to meal. In other words, you will be eating foods from all four food groups that contain a blend of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and fiber, in various combinations that are rotated in and out of every meal throughout each day over the course of several days.

In doing so, you will be inducing a metabolic response that triggers the release of fat burning hormones in your body that will result in rapid weight loss. While on this type of diet, you can expect to lose 9 pounds in 11 days. This is possible because you are “fooling” your body’s metabolism into thinking that it is being deprived of certain nutrients, but then by the time you reintroduce those nutrients back into your diet, you will be withholding others, thus sustaining your body’s fat burning cycle.

The advantages of calorie shifting diets over the other mainstream diets are obvious: You can eat as much you want without counting carbohydrates or calories. You never feel hungry. You never feel dissatisfied, because you do get to eat a little bit of everything on this diet. Also you are not posing any health risks to yourself as you would be if you were on a low-carbohydrate diet. This is because you will be consuming food from all of the food groups while on this diet.

There are a few basic rules that you must follow on this diet:

1. Generate a personalized meal plan that you will be following every day for 11 consecutive days.
2. Each day on the diet, you will be required to eat 4 meals. You may eat those 4 meals in any order that you want on each day.
3. You can eat as much quantity of food as you want at each meal until you are satisfied but not until you are too full. (Overeating is counterproductive to any weight loss effort.)
4. Space your meals out by a minimum of 2.5 to 3 hours each.
5. You must take 3 days off as “cheat days” from your diet every 12th, 13th, and 14th days on your diet. This will give your body a chance to rest from the rapid weight loss you will be experiencing. It will also condition your body to get used to your new weight. Of course during those 3 days you are not allowed to pig out. Instead, you must strive to maintain your weight by eating sensibly. Now would be a good time to practice maintaining your weight, so that you do not gain any of it back. You may generate a new 11-day meal plan to start up again after the 3 days.

Here are some sample meal plans that you would be following. The diet plan lasts for 11 days but only 3 days are included here, just to give you an idea of how the plan is structured and to give you a sense of how satisfying and sustainable this diet truly is. Keep in mind that each of these four meals may be eaten in any order throughout the day, as long as you only eat that the designated foods at each of their respective meals.
