One of the key methods that is used by Fat Loss 4 Idiots to help you lose weight is what is known as calorie shifting.  To explain how calorie shifting works, let’s just say that you consume 2000 calories everyday. If you consistently eat 2000 calories, your body starts to expect approximately 2000 calories everyday and your metabolism will adjust to this amount.

With calorie shifting you constantly change the amount of calories you eat to confuse your metabolism so it never knows how many calories it will consume (see example below). This will result in a more efficient metabolism.

Example:

Day 1: Consume 2000 calories

Day 2: Consume 1500 calories

Day 3: Consume 2200 calories

Day 4: Consume 2400 calories

Day 5: Consume 1900 calories

The example above is rough example of how the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet works except you will do this for 11 days and then take a 3 day break. Another diet that works well with calorie shifting, as the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet does, is the liquid protein diet.
