Burn Fat

Review of The Diet Solution Program: The Program that Promises Fat Loss along with an incredible amount of Health and Vitality. This is a third party review.

Here are a few things that you will need, and need to know, before you embark on your calorie shifting diet cycle.

Mindset- The proper mindset is a vital component in the success of any endeavor, and that certainly includes fat loss. It’s a good idea to spend some time thinking of the benefits, to you, of losing weight. Stand in front of a mirror and imagine the image that you would like to see looking back at you. Write down your weight loss goals on a piece of paper and tape it to your refrigerator or other obvious place. Read it every morning and motivate yourself to have a good fat loss day.

So what is “calorie shifting”?

Calorie shifting is a method of fat loss which has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. It is based on the premise that the metabolism can be “fooled” by eating from different food groups in a certain pattern. One meal may provide protein and fat only, the next may be almost exclusively carbohydrates.

This is certainly healthier than any diet which excludes a food group entirely, like the Atkins Diet. Though you may exclude carbohydrates in one meal and fat in the next, you still get a good overall balance.

If you are planning to burn fat, it’s important to know that weight loss and fat loss are not exactly the same thing. In fact, there is a vital and essential difference between the two.

Weight loss is all of the weight that you lose when you begin a weight loss program. It includes fat, muscle tissue, and fluids. The fluids will return as your body becomes accustomed to the new regimen. The muscle tissue will not, and you can continue to lose muscle tissue as long as your caloric intake is below a certain level. This, of course, is not desirable.

Starving in order to burn fat is not only unnecessary, it can be harmful to your health. At the very least it will slow the metabolism and sap your energy.

I’ve spent some time in Yahoo Answers over the last few weeks, and one of the questions that is often asked in the weight loss section is: “Do I have to starve to lose weight?” or “Do I have to starve to burn belly fat?” Even more disturbing was the cry for help from one girl, who had lost a few pounds and was scared to death that it was going to come back. She was afraid to eat a decent meal and wasn’t getting the proper nutrition from her diet. Most of the people who answered this plea just said, “No, don’t starve, it’s not good for you.” They didn’t offer any solutions, so I directed her to a free e-book which would educate her on the modern fat burning philosophy.
