Cycling calories helped me to shift some stubborn fat and to get over a plateau. Here's how.
The point of this page.
Vary your calorific intake to confuse your body.
As well as buying scales for you, you need to treat your food to some good kitchen scales as well. At first I was shocked at how much certain things weighed. My gigantic bowls of cereals were 4 times the portion size on the box. My pasta consumption was phenomenal. When you get scales and weigh your food you realise how many calories you were consuming before.
I now limit myself (most of the time) to 40 grams of cereal (usually porridge) every morning - except on the mornings when I eat a veggie fry up.
I try to pack carb rich foods like pasta, rice, cous cous, out with lots of other foods. So the amount of pasta I have will be small, but because there is so much veg or so many pulses like lentils or chick peas in the bowl I still get to eat a couple of bowls.
Carbs aren't necessarily bad, and I don't subscribe to low carb diets myself. However they do tend to stop me from feeling full for long, whereas protein rich foods, leave me satisfied for longer.
