Calorie shifting occurs when you change the amounts of calories significantly day after day. Your body will not know you are eating less calories and will continue to burn them at its normal rate. Add some additional exercise and your body will become a fat burning machine.

The Every Other Day Diet plan gives you several different plans to lose weight at different rates, but also gives you an exact eating plan so that you will be forced to succeed if you follow it. This eating plan is called SNAPP.

Of course there is the added benefit of being able to eat whatever you want at certain times as well. You are not limited at all of what you can eat. Just as long as you eat at the exact times the diet calls for. This is what helps people "cheat their way thin". If you are out and you see some awesome dish that you would literally die for you know you can eat it soon. This is the mental silver bullet that slayed other diets.

So as you can see the EODD Diet embraces alternate day dieting, but takes it to a higher more doable level.

1. Following the eating plan religiously: You should be adhering to the eating plan exactly as outlined. If you are finding it hard then I have a few time tested tricks.

Carry a notebook around with you at all times. When you come across a major craving write it down in the notebook. You can then be sure to eat it on your feed day tomorrow. This will give you the power to beat back the craving and satisfy it at the same time.

Make two grocery lists. This is important so that you will have all the foods you need during burn days and all of the food for your family and feed days. By making two lists you will be sure to get the exact things you need for burn days and make your life easier.

2. Water and lot's of it!. Drinking water has become the foundation of most diets. This is not by accident because it really can help you in several ways.

First and foremost it will help your body burn fat and keep your metabolism running at top speed.

Secondly it will stop food cravings and the general pain of hunger. I know you know that drinking water is important. but are you actually doing it? You better be if you really want to lose weight.

3. Exercise. You need to be doing exercise regularly. If you have not increased your daily exercise from before you started the diet you are not going to get the benefits. Here are 2 ways to do it that helped me greatly:

Just add walking to what you already do. Yes it's that simple. Get out at the same time each day and walk for 20 minutes. Be sure you continue with whatever exercise you were doing originally though.

Get classy. Join a Zoomba or Yoga class. This will add a new element to what you already do. You can be sure that this will add a lot of calorie burning even if it is only a couple of times a week.

So if you have started the EODD Diet use these tips to help you get the most out of it. If you have not started then go and watch the Every Other Day Diet Video now!

The truth is what we are all trying to accomplish while dieting is fat loss. Fat loss is losing fat and not burning away muscle. Many times people have dieted and lost weight, but still have not burned fat and maintained muscle mass.

A great analogy would be looking at a person who is shaped like a pear. You can all picture a pear in your mind right? Small at the head and then widening down to the bottom.

Many times people lose a bunch of weight only to find that they have become a smaller pear. The results are not what they were expecting.

The trick is to build or maintain your musculature and lose body fat. This will change your shape in a very pleasing way.

The way you can do this is to use the power of the Every Other Day Diet and it's sister product 7 minute Body. This is the fat blasting combination that will ultimately give you that hour glass shape you desire.

The most amazing thing about 7 Minute Body (formerly Seven Minute Muscle) is that it is all about maximizing results in the least amount of time possible. You can do the exercises at home or at the gym and still get tremendous results in a fraction of the time other workouts take.

I personally split my time at home and the gym just to break things up a bit. I also like socializing more than working out so this is the perfect system. Combined with the freedom of the Every Other Day Diet Eating plan I can live on these systems for life.

Probably the most humiliating part of the process is getting all fired up about some diet plan and spending time and money just to fail miserably. It can be a very crushing blow and cause depression and self hatred. I was on this vicious cycle for many years.

So when I found the EODD Diet plan I was somewhat skeptical to say the least. The one thing that really gave me hope was that this diet seemed to be aimed at people like me. People who have struggled for years and never been able to get it right.

I bought the program and read it in one night.

Then guess what I did? I tried it half heatedly for a week and gave up. No I didn't give up because the diet didn't work. I gave up because I was not ready to change anything in my "comfort zone".

In the past that would have been the end to it. In about six months I would have bought some other diet plan and went through the same routine I have done countless times before.

But something that I read in the EODD Diet stuck with me. If I couldn't make a diet work that allowed me to eat the things I craved regularly, how was I supposed to make any diet work?

I went back to the book and re-read it. I set a date to start and told every one of my close friends and relatives about that "D" date. I got all of my ducks in a row and prepared to give it a real try.

"D" day ended up being the day that my lifelong weight loss started. I have been going strong ever since.

So if you can relate to the feelings and failures mentioned above tou may want to consider the EODD diet too.

Is an Eat Every Other Day Diet a Good Idea?
By http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Christian_Walker Christian Walker

Eat Every Other Day Diet

It is surprising what some of us will go through to lose weight and still be able to enjoy eating. In my case, it may border on self-medicating but that is probably more of an Oprah's Book Club moment than it is a topic for a great article. So back to the great article. As I was saying, being able to eat every other day on a diet would be better for some of us than slogging on day after day on water cress soup, but is only eating every other day harmful? Will you lose weight only eating every other day? These are a few questions that come to mind.

Fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson wrote about his eat every other day experience:
"Today I went for some New York-style pizza here in Austin, Texas. Do I feel 'guilty'? No way... in fact tomorrow I will feel LEANER. What the what? I had to set up my body for this bit of metabolic trickery of course. You cannot just "eat pizza" and shed the pounds... I wish you could! But my personal System for fatloss not only "allows" pizza (and all my other favorite foods)... it DEMANDS that I eat it."

So it seems to work for some people.

Eat Only Every Other Day?

If you simply decide to just eat every other day and hope that you will lose weight you probably won't. I know I have tried it. Yes, I did start to lose weight, but I was really hungry on my fast days and over ate on my feed days. It kind of gave me the feeling that I could run to Pizza Hut to eat every other day. Then I began to cheat on my fast days, rationalizing it away by saying to myself that I would do it only this once. In the end, an eat every other day diet just made my situation worse.

What about Eat-Stop-Eat?

This is a diet where you pick two 24 hour periods a week to fast. I tried this also and had the same results as eating every other day. In fact eating every other day initially gave me better results and it didn't cost me the $49 that the Eat-Stop-Eat ebook did. Now don't get me wrong. The Eat-Stop-Eat ebook is a great ebook. It was my fault that I didn't follow what it said. It is a great diet guide that my brother's wife follows with wonderful results. I just rationalized too much.

The Eat Every Other Day Diet!

Jon Benson, whom we quoted earlier, actually developed his system for eating every other day into a diet guide named The Eat Every Other Day Diet or EODD for short. Its name is more poetic license than a real description of the system. Jon took the idea of eating every other day and applied the concept of caloric cycling and consulted with nutrition experts and came up with a system.

How did the EODD system work form me?

Under this system you eat a lean protein diet punctuated with "feed days" where, if you'll excuse the trem, you pig out. You never actually fast. It is funny how this system really worked for me. I was never starving because of fasting and I always had my "Feed Day" to look forward to. By using the EODD system I also could schedule my "feed days" to correspond with holiday eating, picnics and date nights with my wife.

Even though eating every other day didn't work very well for me because I just didn't have the will power to only eat every other day, it did lead me to a system of Caloric Cycling (EODD) that does work form me. I believe that losing weight is more of a matter of finding a system that works for you than it is of finding one system that works for everyone. The EODD Diet works for me but maybe the Eat-Stop-Eat system would work for you. How do you know until you try. Do not look at your failures as defeats, they are simply part of the research you are doing to find a diet system that works for you.
