Traditional low calorie dieting is really quite futile, because if you’re cutting your calories enough to lose the
traditional pound a week – the bet is you are going to be pretty darn hungry, and when feeding frenzy strikes, you
are going to eat back all the weight you have lost in a week in 30 minutes, and then some. Every Other Day
dieting works for some patients. Cut your calories down to 500 every other day. On your non-diet days, eat
what you want, but try to keep your calories under 3000. In favor of Every Other Day dieting is some science
that suggests you lose more weight eating 500 calories one day and 2000 the next, compared to eating 1500
calories every day. Once again, the problem with traditional balanced low calorie dieting, and the industry
standard is 1500 calories a day to lose weight – is the bet is you are going to be too darn hungry to consistently
stick with the program. You will be much less hungry if you limit carbohydrates. But you have to limit calories
too, in order to consistently lose weight.
