Calorie Staggering Weight Loss Plans

The human body is a very complex machine. The reason that many people fail when trying new weight loss plans is that they simply do not understand how the body works. No matter what the brain wants, the body is programmed above all to do one thing: survive. When the body feels that the food is being taken away, such as when you eat a calorie-restricted diet, action is taken to ensure that you do not starve. One of these actions is to start increasing how much body fat is stored, leading to fears of plateau problems.

To avoid this problem, one possible solution is to "trick" your body into thinking you are not on a diet. Let the average person eat 2,000 calories a day, and want to have a weekly calorie deficit of 3500, meaning they have to cut 500 calories a day. Not just eating 1,500 calories daily, you can eat 1,250 a day, 1,750 more, 1,000 on the third day and then 2,500 on the fourth day and so on. The goal is to make sure that 3,500 - or any number you choose - is a calorie deficit, but without your body "catching it" and going into fat storage mode.

An awesome calorie weight loss plan will effectively boost your metabolism and ensure that your body is in a state of constant fat burning. Another advantage is that you do not feel you are punishing yourself with a diet. Since two or three days a week are eating more calories than you normally do even when you are not on a diet, you get a free pass for a little pampering, which can help reduce your appetite.
