Losing weight fast is the goal for most dieters yet most go about in precisely the wrong way. People think that the way to lose weight fast is to starve themselves by eating extremely low amounts of calories. But these starvation diets have the unintended consequence of slowing the metabolism which actually slows down weight loss.
The fast way to lose weight fast is to boost the metabolism with a forward thinking diet plan which includes what is known as a “calorie spiking day off.” This concept basically means that for one day every week the dieter can eat anything they want while on the other six days of the week they are following a diet plan.
That probably sounds very “counter intuitive” to you. How can eating anything you want once a week help you to lose weight faster you may be wondering? Well the science behind this idea is basically that with most diets your body goes into starvation mode because it’s receiving a low amount of calories day after day. This “calorie spike” is designed to not only stop the slowing of the metabolism but to actually reverse it so that the metabolism is boosted and fat is burned off the body much quicker.
It is a bit more complicated than simply adding this concept to a diet you are already following though, so it’s important to choose a diet plan which includes this “calorie spike” mechanism built into the program itself. That way you can know that you are using this advanced dieting technique in exactly the right way.
A nice side benefit is that by eating anything you want once a week you are able to get rid of all of the “bad food” cravings you get with other diets that knock you off course eventually. This makes this strategy not only more effective but also easier to stick with. It’s the best of both worlds.
