Can The EODD Diet Really Let Me Eat My Favorite Foods And Still Lose Weight?

Hello, I am Christian, a life-long dieter and I use the EODD diet as a life-style eating plan after losing my excess weight with it.  So I know what I am talking about when it comes to the EODD diet.

The EODD Diet Is Short For The Every Other Day Diet

The EODD in the EODD Diet actually stands for the name of the diet which is The Every Other Day Diet.  I was first attracted to the Every Other Day Diet by its claims that you could eat your favorite foods and still lose weight.

So I researched it and after finding out how it worked I was impressed enough to try it out.

Let me share a few things I discovered in my research that lead me to adapting this diet as my culinary life style.

What The EODD Diet Is Not

Here are a few myths about the Every Other Day Diet that are not true.

• The EODD Diet Means You Eat Only Every Other Day – This is not true, you eat every day but you are allowed to have one non-diet meal of the foods of your choice every other day.
• You Can Eat Whatever You Want And Still Lose Weight – While this is technically true, a lot of people fail to understand that there are limitations on the amount of diet-free foods you eat.  There are no limitations on your choice of foods, just the amount and the times you can eat them. More about this later.
• The EODD Diet Is Complicated To Understand And Follow – Nothing could be further from the truth.  The SNAPP eating system can be mastered in 15 minutes.  I’ll admit that I learned in in less than 5 minutes.  As far as following it, it is as easy to follow if you have dedicated yourself to losing weight.

 How The EODD Diet Works

The EODD Diet is based on calorie shifting which is a technique of reduced calorie dieting that is calculated weekly rather than daily.  For instance, on a traditional diet I might limit my daily calorie intake to 1200 calories in order to lose weight, but calorie shifting would look at the weekly total of 1200 X 7 or 8400 calories per week.

This allows diets like the EODD diet to shift these 8400 calories around with some days having a very low calorie allotment and others having a much higher allotment.  This is how room is made for the high calorie non-diet meals every other day.

EODD Diet Benefits:

This calorie shifting technique has several benefits and the EODD diet adaptation of calorie shifting includes several more.

• Calorie Shifting reduces and in many cases eliminates weight loss plateaus.  This is due to the fact that the body is kept off balance by the constantly changing calorie intake.
• The EODD diet adds a psychological advantage by using non-diet foods as a way to keep dieters from feeling trapped in a low-calorie desert.
• Calorie shifting keeps the body from reducing its metabolism in response to a daily reduction in calories.
• The EODD Diet allows dieters to never be more than 24 hours away from a non-diet meal.

The EODD Diet Drawbacks

• The EODD Diet is not a miracle, you still are going to be going on a restricted calorie diet.
• You need to follow this diet to the letter in order for it to work.
• Getting a hard copy edition of the EODD Diet cost extra.

In the end the EODD Diet is a great diet for anyone who…

• Is seriously planning on losing weight.  Losing weight sucks no matter how you look at it, but the EODD Diet just makes it suck less.
• Would like to have a “break” from their diet every once in a while—with the EODD diet this can be every other day.
• Is looking for a permanent lifestyle change.

To be honest with you, I would not recommend the EODD Diet to people who are justr researching losing weight but are not fully committed yet.  I also would discourage people from getting the EODD Diet if they are looking for a way to lose weight with out sacrificing anything. (I will tell you now that you aren’t going to find such a product.)

The EODD Diet works best when you read it through twice, take notes on it and then put everything into practice.  I would also highly recommend you join the forum which is free to do once you have purchased the EODD diet.  There you will receive plenty of support and have all of your questions answered promptly.

When you get the EODD Diet don’t start on it until you have read it through twice, joined the forum and have had all of your questions answered.  Once you feel ready then pick a starting date and your off to enjoy a better quality of life like I have found.

How Can A Calorie Shifting Diet Help You Lose Weight Faster And Easier

When I first heard of a calorie shifting diet, I immediately thought, “heck, why didn’t I think of that myself?”

In a minute I will explain what a calorie shifting diet is and how it can make you lose weight faster and easier than traditional diets, but first…

Have you ever experienced a plateau?  Sure, they may be great if you are hiking up hill, but when they are a weight loss plateau it is a whole nother story.

You have been being really good and not cheating on your diet at all.  The weight has been steadily dropping when…suddenly nothing.  No weight loss at all and to make matters worse, it continues that way day after day.

That is a weight loss plateau and they can be so discouraging that you give up on the diet.  Some diet plateaus you can break through by just sticking to your diet, but it takes determination and a will of steel.  Some plateaus are pretty permanent.

Plateau Causes And How A Calorie Shifting Diet Helps

When you start eating fewer calories than your body is used to it will make up the difference by taking from your fat stores.  This is a good thing and the reason you are going on a diet in the forst place, however, if you continue eating fewer calories everyday for too long your body panics so to speak and thinks there is a drought or famin occurring.

You body isn’t aware that you live close to supermarket full of every conceivable food known to man.  It thinks you are still in a cave facing a famine.  It switches to a lower gear and burns less energy in order to survive its imagined famine and you stop losing weight.

The Calorie Shifting Diet Solution

Researchers have discovered that this only happens if you eat fewer calories every day over a certian period of time.  This means that you should only eat fewer calories some of the time.  The problem with that is you won’t end up losing weight ver fast.

This is where a calorie shifting diet comes in.  Suppose I really wanted to lose weight fast so I decide to restrict my daily calories to 1200 each day.  This will be great until my body does its little starvation avoidence thing.  So what if I thought weekly calorie count  instead of daily?

1200 calories a day makes 8400 calories a week.  If I plan a reduced weekly calorie count I can shift the calories around—hence the name Calorie Shifting Diet—so that on somedays I eat very little while on others I eat relatively a lot.

This makes me lose weight faster because my body will not plateau in its weight loss.  It is never given a chance to go into starvation prevention mode since it isn’t really sure what is going on.  The metabolism stays high and the weight comes off.

A Calorie Shifting Diet also makes dieting easier because you can enjoy days where you can eat foods normally forbidden by traditional diets.  You always have food to look forward to rather than the interminably long desert of boring diet food that traditional diets demand.

Since you are happier on a Calorie Shifting Diet you are more inclined to stick with it and reach your weight loss goals.

1 Old Weird Secret…

Calorie Shifting Diet EODD

EODD Is A Way To Lose Weight And Still Enjoy A Little Naughty…

EODD is an acronym that stands for Every Other Day Diet, a calorie cycling weight loss diet developed by weight loss and life coach Jon Benson.

EODD In A Nut Shell

In a nut shell EODD or the Every Other Day Diet is a calorie cycling weight loss protocol that uses calorie cycling to not only boost your weight loss, keep you from long diet plateaus, but it also allows you to enjoy a diet-free meal every other day.

The psychology  of knowing that you are never more than 24 hours away from enjoying a guilt free meal of your favorite things is so powerful that it allows many people to stick with the EODD plan rather than abandon it like they have so many other diets they have been on before

EODD Is Turning Failure On Its Head

Sticking with a weight loss plan is most of the battle since any good weight loss plan will work if followed.  EODD’s unique approach and its creative use of calorie cycling allows more people to succeed than most diet plans.

Calorie Cycling

The idea behind calorie cycling was that you ate a reduced calorie meal plan based on your weekly calorie count rather than your daily calorie count.  So instead of going on a 1200 calorie a day diet you calculated it weekly by multiplying 1200 by 7 resulting in a weekly count of 8400 calories a week.

By doing this You can then shift or cycle calories around in the week by eating less on some days and more on others and this is what EODD does.

EODD Keeps The Body Of Guard

The body is good at adjusting to routine and that is why you stop losing weight on so many diet plans.  The calorie cycling of the EODD diet never allows the body to adjust to a routine and thus it drastically cuts down on the severity and length of diet plateaus.

When you combine calorie cycling with your favorite foods you produce the perfect weight loss storm.  You keep your body off balance and losing weight while keeping your mind eagerly looking forward to the “feed meals” it can enjoy.

The results is a steady weight loss with out the feeling of being trapped in a food desert.

EODD Pros

The pros of the EODD diet protocol are steady weight loss and the joy of eating a diet-free meal of your choosing every other day.

This makes EODD one of the easiest diets to fit into your life.  You can still celebrate with friends and family while losing weight and you can reduce diet plateaus by keeping the body off guard.

You can also use the EODD diet to create a life-long eating plan that will allow you to never regain your weight again.

EODD Cons

I am a user of the EODD diet so I know exactly what I am talking about and the downside of the EODD diet is that you still must change your life style somewhat and you must exercise enough self-control to make it to your feed meals.

I found that at first it was easy to stretch my feed meals beyond the boundaries established by the EODD protocol and I found this wrecked the results of the diet.

I also found out that you must be totally committed to losing weight or else you will abandon this method, just like you did all of the others.

The Bottom Line

EODD is not a magic bullet or an eat everything in sight and still lose weight program.  It is a real, scientifically backed up, way to lose weight by shifting around calories during the week and still maintaining a reduced over-all calorie count.

It works on 2 levels, the physical with its reduced weekly calorie count and the mental with its feed meals that keep you motivated releases you from the usual trapped feeling most diets have.

I have also found that EODD is a tool for the use of highly motivated dieters to lose weight more easily than most other methods, but it is not a magic system that will cause you to lose weight with out some effort and commitment.
