Calorie Shifting Versus Deprivation

Calorie shifting is different from most diets in that its effects are long term. Most fad diets rely on restriction of calories or certain nutrients to produce desired results, which means that as soon as you go off the diet you're likely to gain back the weight you've worked hard to lose. Alternately, a calorie shifting diet equips your body to keep burning fat by boosting your metabolic rate.
