When I was young and lean, I could eat anything I want and all I
want without gaining any additional weight. I didn't have to worry
about how many calories are in one cheeseburger or how much fat is in
that weekly pizza. When I heard stories and saw ads about people
struggling to lose weight, I simply thought it couldn't happen to me.
I was practically in food heaven in the early years of my life.
I began to eat low fat and low calorie foods after doing some
initial research. Didn't work for me that well. I was basically
starving myself and yet I didn't notice any weight loss after shedding
off the first few pounds. What I hated the most was the starving
aspect of the diet. Why was I starving myself purposedfully? I'm
living in a plentiful, industrialized country for god's sake! I then
tried a the low carb method, which I quickly find out was practically
the same as the previous method. I couldn't eat more than an apple per
day! What's the point of living if I have to feel so miserable about
eating so little?
After scrounging for more weight loss plans and methods, I stumbled
upon diet plans that were less harsh than the previous methods but
worked much slower. I tried it for about two months but only lost less
than a pound! This might work if I went through the program all the
way, but by that time, I would probably be in my forties already.
Again I searched for more information and tried diet pills. Basically
they were even worse than what I've tried before. I felt that the only
value those pills had were their placebo effects. After searching for
more weight loss methods and plans (many of which were basically copy-
cats of one another), I was on the verge of giving up.
One fine morning, however, I stumbled upon a new theory on weight
loss: The Shifting Calories Theory. I was intrigued because it was
something unique. The theory basically states that our bodies
metabolism burns future calories at a rate based on the average of how
many calories the person has burned previously (a few days past). This
basically means that our bodies' metabolism has a sort of a memory of
how many calories to burn. However, if we suddenly change the types
and amounts of calories we eat, we can trick our body into burning
more fat. Though there are more details, that's basically how it
works. And it does work, at least for me. I've already lost thirty-six
pounds using this method. I'm not saying that all of the other methods
are worthless, but if you've tried a lot of plans already but failed,
you should give this a shot.
