Tag: Zig zag diet

Research indicates that calorie cycling, a core principle of the zig zag diet, may lead to greater weight loss for some individuals compared to consistent daily calorie restriction. This approach prioritizes weekly calorie totals, offering flexibility regarding what foods are allowed on the zig zag diet, rather than strict daily limits.

According to research published in the *International Journal of Preventive Medicine*, a calorie-shifting diet can lead to significant weight loss. **What is a zig zag diet**? It is a dietary strategy that involves alternating between high- and low-calorie intake days to create a weekly average calorie deficit.
