Calorie Shifting
The Baseline Nutritional plan is unique in many ways, but the next element I am going to present is revolutionary. Fred Hatfield (Dr. Sqaut) co founder of the International Sports Sciences Association developed a caloric intake plan called Zig Zagging and has popularized it in his many published books. Zig Zagging allows one to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. The plan calls for dieters to lower calories for five days and raise calories for two days. This prescription works well for Americans since it follows the workweek and weekend format. For five days you will consume 20% less than your maintenance calories (12 calories per pound of lean body weight), and for two days you will consume 20% above (16 calories per pound of lean body weight). The metabolism is a complicated component of the fat loss puzzle. You must keep the metabolism happy to be successful in your pursuit to lose body fat. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is your speed of calorie burning. Optimize your BMR by altering your calorie levels. Quite simply the body does not like to give up body fat, and will come to a stand still if a phase of caloric deficit continues for too long. Putting calories up for two days will kick your metabolism into high gear facilitating greater fat losses during the lower calorie periods. Zig Zagging will allow you to continue losing body fat over the long term. Remember that long term diets are effective while short-term fad effort are destined for failure.
