Your body burns calories based on your eating habits over the last few days as it can't know what your eating habits will be tomorrow for example. This is a natural, biological happening and is your body's way of maintaining it's balance. Your metabolism assumes your eating habits will remain the same for the days to come.

Your metabolism is expecting to see the regular patterns of food types and calorie intake. If instead of this familiar pattern, you present your metabolism with different food combinations and calorie intake, it starts to burn calories at higher rates.

Your metabolism is basically being instructed to burn more of the calories it receives, as it's now expecting to see new nutrition patterns, which will allow it to burn these calories.

After every meal you eat, hormones are released by your brain. One hormone, the Fat Burning Hormone, controls the amount of calories used by the body and the other hormone, the Fat Storing Hormone, controls the amount of calories stored as fat in your body.

Making your body release more Fat Burning hormones would cause your body to burn more calories. Reducing the amount of Fat Storing hormones, reduces the number of calories stored in your body as fat. Making these changes happen is the basis of a Calorie Shifting Diet.

Fat tissue is produced by your body, but is actually meant to be burned away in your daily activities. If your body's Fat Burning Hormones are not released properly after every meal, then this fat tissue get stored, instead of being used.

Calorie Shifting works by cycling your food types and meal frequencies, allowing the lowest possible amount of Fat Storing hormones to be released, which means your body will store less of it's calorie intake as fat and burn more calories as energy, as it releases more Fat Burning hormones.

Using a Calorie Shifting diet in the proper cycles can result in weight loss happening for every cycle of the program. This weight loss happens without any starvation regimes or eliminating any food types.

This weight loss happens due to the changing percentages at which your body produces Fat Burning and Fat Storing hormones and is a direct result of changing eating habits and patterns.

By using a Calorie Shifting nutrition plan, you are able to burn more fat from your daily calorie intake, and also cause your body to use the fat it has already stored as fatty deposits.

Although not a firm rule, Calorie Shifting diets seem to work best for persons with a Body Mass Index of between 26 and 36. As with most weight loss products, some individuals see better results than others, but those in the 26 to 36 BMI range do seem to react better to a Calorie Shifting diet.
