As we get older, gaining weight becomes a fear. As a result we are distancing ourselves from the weight scales and the ritual of buying clothes became an unpleasant activity.

According to Pamela Peeke, MD, MPH, author of Fight Fat After Forty, weight gain at the age of 40 years and over is normal. Because hormonal changes very easy to make fat accumulate in the body. However, the hormonal changes really only make our bodies gain weight 1-2,5 kg. “What makes the scales continue to go up is our lifestyles that are not healthy and rarely do exercise.”

So what can we do? “Hold these 3 keys, mind, mouth, and muscle,” Peeke said with enthusiasm.

Use the mind to control the stress that appears. Hormonal changes also affect our emotional stability. After that, Peeke added, choose the size, quality, and frequency of nutrient-rich meal. “When we talk about the adequacy of nutrition for the elderly, then the diet should consist more of wheat, fruits, vegetables, plus protein,” She explained as she mentioned, we also must remember the needs of daily calories.

For those at the age 40-50 need 1500-1600 calories a day if we do sports. While for men aged, the required calories per day is 1800-2000.

In order that the fat does not accumulate, Peeke suggest us to do sports. Physical activity not only reduce fat in the body, but also strengthen our bones. Ideally, the percentage of body fat in older women is 22-27 per cent. Whereas for men is 18-25 percent of daily caloric needs.

As for the rules of eating, Peeke allows us to eat every 3 or 4 hours. That way, we will not overeat as a result of being hungry too long. “But remember, do not eat too late. Because, the it will give the body too little time to process it into energy. “

A calorie shifting diet works differently than a low carb diet, or even a plain reduced calorie diet.  This diet shifts calories so that the body will continue to burn fat.

A low carb diet obviously reduces the carbohydrates that we take in. A calorie shifting diet is less clear. How do calories get shifted? To get the answer to that question, we need to understand how body metabolism responds to the food we eat.

First, it is important to see that the human body tries to keep a store of fat. This can be a good thing if we truly were starving and didn’t have enough to eat. Unfortunately most people in the industrialised world have a sedentary life style and we eat more than our body really needs. So, even when we diet, we are working at cross purposes with our natural body tendency. We may lose initially, but eventually our metabolism will catch on and slow down the amount of calories burned, making it very difficult for us the continue losing weight.

With that as background, we begin to understand calorie shifting. It is called shifting because it shifts different types of food around to different meals and different days. Whereas a calorie cutting diet is basically concerned with reducing the number of calories consumed, the focus of this diet is to mix up days of low carbohydrates and other days of more carbs and less proteins. All of it is calculated to keep body metabolism off balance so that you can keep losing.

A good calorie shifting diet will give you all of the carbohydrates your body needs as well as all the proteins necessary for healthy living. You need the carbs to give you energy, and the protein is needed to produce glucagon. This hormone brings out the collected fat in your body and burns it for energy.

So, you don’t have to count calories with this diet, but you do have to develop a healthy rotation (shift) of the appropriate foods. If you do this, this diet can help you to lose fat quickly, and, since it gives you such a balanced diet, it is something you can maintain for as long as you like.

This diet is so simple that anyone can do it. You only need a planner that will help you rotate the foods. You can get that plan today and start to create your own calorie shifting diet. This could be the first time you find a diet that really lets you lose weight the way you want to.
